Thank you for your interest in joining the School Psychology Team at PUSD. We have a multistep selection process for potential practicum students and interns, which includes an application and intake interview. PUSD requires that practicum hours be completed in order to be considered for an internship position, in accordance with standards specified by the California Commission on Teacher Credentialing (CTC). If you are an in-state student from a university that is outside the immediate San Diego metropolitan area, please contact us to find out if your university has a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with PUSD. An MOU is a contractual agreement required between both entities (in this case your university and PUSD) prior to allowing students to participate in internship activities within our district. Your university School Psychology Department Chair will have that information as well. Applicants from out of state must be enrolled in an accredited program.  Please refer to the CTC website above for specific information regarding state requirements for out of state students. Interested applicants who have completed the necessary coursework and practicum hours can submit an application and portfolio.

Application: Your completed application packet must include the following:

• Resume/Vitae
• Certificate of Clearance
• TB Test
• CBEST documentation of a passing score (internship applicants only)

Completed application packets will be accepted throughout the school year. Interviews and placements are based on availability.  Please submit your application and documents in the form below.

Interview: Due to the large number of applicants, not all applicants will be invited to interview, nor will all applicants interviewed be offered an internship.
