Abstract

The Nebraska Internship Consortium in Professional Psychology (NICPP) is a group of outpatient, inpatient, and school agencies in both rural and urban settings in southeastern Nebraska. The mission of NICPP is to provide an integrated, individually tailored and coordinated series of learning experiences that provide interns with opportunities to (a) practice and expand on previously held knowledge and learned skills; (b) develop new skills and knowledge; and (c) experience professional growth and development, thus contributing to the emergence of a larger pool of competent psychologists trained in the scientist- practitioner tradition.
