Child & Adolescent Psychology Externships

NYU Grossman School of Medicine offers 14 predoctoral externships that provide advanced training in 11 subspecialties of child and adolescent psychology at the Child Study Center, part of Hassenfeld Children’s Hospital at NYU Langone, as well as locations on Long Island and in New Jersey.

Our externs learn about implementing clinical behavioral and cognitive behavioral therapy approaches for children, adolescents, and their families, and consult directly with staff psychiatrists to develop effective collaborative, team-based care models.

All externships are overseen by Samantha Busa, PsyD, lead in psychology externship training, and Lori K. Evans, PhD, director of psychology externship training. They can be reached at Samantha.Busa@NYULangone.org and Lori.Evans@NYULangone.org. General training inquiries should be addressed to our program at csc-psychtraining@NYULangone.org.  

We accept applications for externship in accordance with the Northeastern Regional Externship Match Guidelines. To apply for our externship tracks, please speak with your DCT about electronic match registration. Extern candidates should apply to no more than two of the externship listings. All externships take place July 2026 to June 2027. The time requirement is a minimum of 16 hours per week.

Participation in a Psychology Externship with the Department of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry at NYU Langone Health is contingent upon the execution of an affiliation agreement with our institution and your University.

NYU Langone Health will allow for some changes to our standard agreement; however, major substantive changes are not permitted. As a result, we recommend your program reviews our agreement in advance of your application to ensure you will be able to be an extern with us. Of note, applicable law must be New York. Please talk with your legal team to see if this is acceptable before applying to our program. To receive a copy of our standard agreement to share with your school’s legal team for advanced review, please inquire with us at csc-psychtraining@NYULangone.org.

Our onboarding process for new externs takes approximately one month. We are not able to begin onboarding new externs until the clinical education affiliation agreement is signed by both parties. Any delays due to a pending affiliation agreement or slow response on the part of the externship candidate to requests from NYU Langone’s human resources department may postpone the start of the externship.
