SMHW Clinical Interns
The counseling center at New York Medical College is committed to providing students with the best clinical support services possible. We offer training experience to graduate students in social work who can work closely with our students. We have provided fieldwork opportunities to students from Fordham University, New York University, and Touro University. Each year student interns are available for appointments between September and May.
