Mercy Health – St. Rita’s Medical Center is committed to providing services in a health care delivery system that supports psychology interns' educational goals and objectives, to ensure that the intern educational experience is not compromised by excessive reliance on interns to fulfill service obligations.

Electronic medical literature databases and point-of-care medical resources with search capabilities are available internally.
  • Provisions are made for a healthy and safe work environment with 24-hour food services, an Employee Assistance Program and appropriate security. Our Graduate Medical Education (GME) office provides resources to support interns' well-being and minimize educational and clinical impact following a leave of absence, should one be required.
  • Interns will be training within the medical center itself, as well as in one of the attached medical office buildings. They will also have 24/7 access to our GME center, which includes a break room, snacks and ample computer stations.
