Family therapy doctoral students from American Association for Marriage and Family Therapy‐accredited programs are required to complete a full‐time clinical internship. The literature provides little information about these internship experiences. Two doctoral‐level marriage and family therapists summarize their professional and personal experiences in their internships located within a multidisciplinary healthcare setting. In addition, their supervisor reports on her experiences working with marriage and family therapy doctoral interns. We hope that this case report will stimulate all interns and their supervisors to provide feedback to their internship sites and graduate programs about their clinical training and the extent to which the programs prepared them for their marriage and family therapy careers in the larger health and mental community.
