Programs

All APPIC member internship programs are required to participate in the Match. Internship sites that have applied for APPIC membership during the 2008 fall membership cycle (i.e. by September 30, 2008) must also participate in the Match. Other non-APPIC member sites that have not already participated in the Match and/or Clearinghouse for two years, or that are members of the Canadian Council of Professional Psychology Programs (CCPPP), are welcome and encouraged to participate. Non-APPIC members will be charged an annual participation fee.

Applicants

APPIC policy states that internship applicants must (a) be enrolled in a doctoral program in professional psychology that requires internship training, and (b) expect to complete practicum experience by the start of internship. Applicants who do not satisfy these requirements may not register for the Match or apply to APPIC-member internship programs. In addition to these requirements, an applicant’s academic program has the authority to determine the applicant’s eligibility for participation in the Match. Applicants who wish to consult with APPIC about their eligibility may use the "Informal Problem Resolution" process (see www.appic.org, click on "Problem Resolution" for contact information).

Any eligible applicant seeking an appointment beginning after June 1, 2009 to a psychology internship program that participates in the Match must register to participate in the Match. Applicants who register in the Match must immediately notify all internship sites to which they have applied in the event of any change in their standing with their academic program (e.g., being put on probation) or in their eligibility to apply for an internship.
