Who are individuals currently enrolled in a predoctoral training program or internship?

Individuals who are currently enrolled in a predoctoral training program or internship are typically referred to as "interns." This term signifies that they are engaged in practical, hands-on training in a clinical or counseling setting as part of their educational program. Predoctoral internships are designed to provide students with the experience necessary to apply their theoretical knowledge in real-world situations, and they are under the supervision of licensed professionals.

While the term "students" can refer to anyone engaged in an educational program, it does not specifically capture the actively training role that is characterized by interns. Interns are at a specific point in their training where they are applying their skills in supervised practice rather than solely engaging with academic coursework. Therefore, "interns" is the more appropriate term in this context.

Other terms such as "practitioners" generally refer to individuals who have completed their training and are fully licensed to practice independently, while "supervisors" denote the trained professionals overseeing the interns during their practical training, thus contrasting with the role of the intern.
