FAQ for Internship Applicants Back

Question 19. Is it acceptable to complete an internship after the doctoral degree has been awarded?
APPIC policies state that students who participate in the APPIC Match must be currently enrolled in a doctoral program in professional psychology (i.e., clinical, counseling, or school psychology) that requires internship training. Thus, individuals who graduate without an internship should NOT expect to be eligible to participate in future APPIC Matches.
An exception to this rule is for individuals who are engaged in a re-specialization program in professional psychology (i.e., doctoral-level psychologists who are completing a re-specialization program in an area other than that emphasized in their original training). Other exceptions will be considered on a case-by-case basis, including graduates of programs that do not require an internship.
More information on this policy may be found at www.appic.org - click on "Policies and Procedures," then on "Intern Applicant Policy." Individuals who have questions or concerns about this policy may wish to use APPIC's "Informal Problem Consultation" process (www.appic.org, click on "Problem Consultation ").
