[In the children's hospital].

A. Psychology Internship Training Model The Children’s Hospital Psychology Internship Training program is derived from an integration of the values of the scientist-practitioner and practitioner-scientist models. The focus of our internship is to provide a clinically intensive training year within the context of encouraging and modeling practice that meets the broader definition of evidence-based practice adopted by the Institute of Medicine (IOM, 2001). The IOM definition attaches equal weight to three core values: best research evidence, clinical expertise, and patient values. We affirm that the greatest mutual benefit derives from the professional practice of health service psychology in which clinical and research expertise mutually influence each other. Additionally, as a family centered care organization, we share the value of tailoring treatment to take into account patient and family values.
