Staff Perspective: The 2022 Winter Institute
Last week, from 10-12 January, the Center for Deployment Psychology presented the first iteration of The Winter Institute session of our "Pathways to Military Internship" program. This course is offered to doctoral students who are interested in learning more about military internships in the U.S. Army, Navy, or Air Force. It is intended to act as an offshoot of the exisiting Summer Institute. We saw the need to reach those students who are not able to travel to and attend The Summer Institute in-person at the Uniformed Services University of the Health Sciences in Bethesda, MD and/or for whom the summer does not fit their schedule.
Both training programs are designed to raise doctoral students’ awareness of what it would be like to serve as a military psychologist and to familiarize them with key aspects of a behavioral health career in the Armed Forces. In addition, students gain valuable military insights that increase their competitiveness for a military internship.

This inaugural edition of The Winter Institute included more than 35 participants joining CDP faculty, staff and invited speakers for three days of presentations and Q&A sessions. We'd like to thank all of our participants, as well as guest presenters. We're already looking forward to the next Winter Institute.
Before we get there though, next up is the 2022 Summer Institute. This year's session will run from 13-17 June 2022. (Please note that these days have changed from the originally released dates to accomodate the Juneteenth holiday. on 20 June.) Registration for the event is now available here. We encourage all those interested to apply. We look forward to seeing everyone this summer on the USU campus in Bethesda, Maryland!
