Wright-Patterson Psychology Internship Program

03/03/2026

Stepping outside the clinic and into the operational environment, one of our residents, Capt Worden-Baroni, was able to support an Assessment and Selection event. 🥳 Here is a bit about her experience:
"I attended the Assessment and Selection (A&S) event for Tactical Air Control Party (TACP) Officers. This is one of the potential opportunities you get as part of the Embedded Mental Health (EMH) minor rotation. During this event, I learned more about the role of Operational Psychologists in the USAF and how they work to support candidates, cadre, and the mission. I also had the amazing opportunity to get hands-on experience with the assessment and selection process, as well as connect with several Operational Psychologists to pick their brains about their jobs and deployment experiences."

Psychology residents recently had the incredible opportunity to tour the 375th Aeromedical Evacuation Training Squadron (375th AETS) at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base! ✈️🩺

From learning about aeromedical evacuation operations to seeing firsthand how Airmen train to care for patients in-flight, the visit was an impressive reminder of the great work happening at Wright Patt. Residents gained appreciation and insight into the complexity of providing medical and psychological care in dynamic, high-stakes environments, and for the teamwork necessary to make that happen. 🤝

Thanks to the 375th AETS for sharing! 🎉

Today’s training highlight: Biofeedback with Major Krunnfusz, Clinical Health Psychologist 🙌
The residents are building skills in using real-time physiological data to support stress management, health behavior change, and integrated care for patients. Evidence-based practice, hands-on learning, and a subtle reminder that the body doesn’t miss much. 🔍📈

One of the best parts about the location of Wright-Patt is how close it is to Jubie’s Creamery! 🐘🍨
The residency program gathered for Journal Club and got the inside scoop on the latest research. 🍧📉
We really milkshake-d those articles for all they’re worth and churned out some good discussions. 🍦📚

👻 Things that truly scare psychology residents: unfinished notes, printer jams mid-eval, & forgetting to hit “save” on a report. 🕷️ luckily- the residents faced their fears together this spooky season- nothing than better than teamwork + candy 🍬 🎃 🧠
Happy Halloween from the 25-26 class!

Exploring innovation at NAMRU-Dayton! 🧠 Psychology residents and mental health techs got a firsthand look at cutting-edge research—and even met the legendary Kraken (device used for training and research that simulates aviation and spaceflight - with 360 degree rotation and up to 3Gs of acceleration!) ⚓️ Grateful for the opportunity to learn from the best in military medical science. 🧬 🧪 🥼
