The APPIC Match

The APPIC Internship Matching Program places applicants into psychology internship positions at training sites in the United States and Canada.

The APPIC Match was first implemented in 1999. Similar Matching Programs are in use in many other professions, including medicine, dentistry, pharmacy, and law. The Match provides an orderly process to help applicants obtain positions in predoctoral internships of their choice, and to help internship programs obtain applicants of their choice. For both applicants and programs, it alleviates many of the factors that generate inequities, unfair pressures, and premature decisions in the making of offers by programs and the acceptance or rejection of offers by applicants. It also allows programs and applicants to evaluate each other fully before determining preferences.

The Matching Program is sponsored and supervised by APPIC and is administered by National Matching Services Inc. (NMS). NMS was established in 1985 and specializes in the development and operation of Matching Programs for the competitive recruitment of positions. The senior professional staff of NMS have extensive experience in the development, implementation, and operation of Matching Programs for professional recruitment. They have developed proprietary software that enables the automation of all aspects of the Matching Programs that they administer. NMS was chosen as the company to administer the APPIC Match because of its expertise in the specialized field of Matching Programs, and because of its excellent reputation across disciplines.
