Internship Programmes for Nursing, Psychology, BSW & MSW students

The hospital provides structured and comprehensive opportunities for internship, training, and placement to students from Nursing, Bachelor of Social Work (BSW), Master of Social Work (MSW), and Psychology disciplines. These programs are designed to bridge the gap between theoretical knowledge and practical clinical application in a multidisciplinary mental health care setting.

During the training period, students are exposed to a well-planned blend of educative academic sessions and supervised clinical practical training. The academic component includes lectures, seminars, case discussions, workshops, and interactive sessions conducted by experienced psychiatrists, clinical psychologists, psychiatric social workers, and nursing professionals. These sessions aim to strengthen students’ understanding of psychiatric disorders, psychosocial interventions, ethical practices, and evidence-based treatment approaches.

The clinical training component provides hands-on exposure in various inpatient and outpatient psychiatric services. Students actively participate in patient assessments, case work, counseling sessions, family meetings, psychosocial interventions, and rehabilitation activities under close professional supervision. This enables them to develop essential clinical skills, professional competence, and confidence in working with individuals experiencing mental health challenges.

In addition, the hospital offers residential training and field exposure, allowing students to gain an in-depth understanding of hospital functioning, multidisciplinary teamwork, and continuity of patient care. Residential exposure enhances experiential learning, professional discipline, and real-time engagement with mental health service delivery.

Overall, the internship and training programs foster clinical competence, ethical sensitivity, interdisciplinary collaboration, and professional growth, preparing students for effective practice and future employment in mental health and allied health care settings.
