Several committees are actively involved in the planning and organization of the internship training program. Psychology residents typically volunteer for these committees, or are elected by their fellow residents at the beginning of the year. Listed below are current committees available for resident participation.
Diversity Advancement Committee
Co-Chairs:
Ty Lostutter, Ph.D.
Functions
- To encourage conversations about diversity and its role in the training of residents.
- To promote education of residents and faculty on issues of individual and cultural diversity (including ethnic minorities, gender/sexual orientation, physical disabilities, SES, age) as these relate to clinical work, consultation, supervision, and evaluation, and research methods/design.
- To serve as a resource "hub" of information (clinical and social service resources, research, lectures, and expertise at the University of Washington and surrounding community) on diversity issues for everyone involved in the internship.
- To recruit and retain diverse residents, fellows, faculty, and speakers, as well as those interested in diversity issues.
Patient Populations
We serve a diverse population at all of our training sites.

- To provide guidance, information, and support to the residents during the internship year.
