Intern Resources

Overall, training at WVU Medicine: Behavioral Medicine and Psychiatry — Martinsburg has been deliberately designed to offer three interns per year a closely supervised, and developmentally beneficial educational experience over twelve consecutive months running from July 1 through June 30, which follows the same training schedule as our Eastern Division Medical Students and the Rural Family Medicine Residency Program.

Interns will receive a stipend of $43,888 and be eligible for benefits provided to WVU Medicine: University Healthcare staff, including the ability to accrue 184 hours (23 days) of vacation time, 7 federal holidays, medical insurance, etc. Additionally, psychology interns are provided additional funds for pre-approved continuing education expenses, including but not limited to the West Virginia Psychological Association’s annual Fall Conference.

Lastly, the Eastern Panhandle is a wonderful place to live and work. While Berkeley and Jefferson Counties are some of the fastest-growing counties in the state, they have little traffic and congestion. Our rural-suburban atmosphere and lower cost of living, mixed with the easy accessibility to the Washington/Baltimore areas make Berkeley and Jefferson Counties an ideal place in which to live.
