APPLYING FOR APPIC MEMBERSHIPAn APPIC "member" is defined as an internship
or post-doctoral training program that has met all of the relevant APPIC membership
criteria for internship
programs, postdoctoral
programs, or consortia
and has applied and been accepted for membership. Training programs that are interested
in joining APPIC or renewing their membership may download the appropriate membership
application forms (see below)
or may obtain application materials by contacting the APPIC
Central Office. **Please note that APPIC membership criteria require
a program to have the minimum number of trainees on site and in training at the
time of initial application for APPIC membership.** Consortia of independent
training programs are also eligible to apply for APPIC membership. A consortium
is comprised of multiple independent agencies that have joined together to offer
a well-rounded, unified psychology training program. The purpose of a consortium
is to pool the resources of more than one site to enhance and ensure the quality
of training provided to interns and/or postdoctoral fellows. In some cases, isolated
agencies within a consortium cannot meet certain APPIC criteria for an internship
or postdoctoral fellowship, but are able to contribute to a comprehensive training
program when various types of resources are combined. Membership applications
are reviewed twice annually. The application deadlines are March 31 and September
30 of each year (applications must be postmarked by that date to be reviewed
during the Spring or Fall meetings). There is a $250 application fee that
must be received by APPIC before the application will be reviewed. See the Dues
and Fees page for information about annual membership dues. Along with the
application fee, please email the initial application or renewal materials (or
mail one copy) to APPIC Central
Office postmarked by the above date for review by the appropriate APPIC Committee.
PLEASE NOTE: Internship programs that submit membership applications for
the fall membership cycle (with a September 30 application deadline) are now REQUIRED
to register for and participate in the APPIC Match. Please see APPIC's policies
on Match participation
for non-member programs for more information. Membership benefits include
listing in the APPIC online Directory, access to the APPIC Match and Clearninghouse
(for internship programs), a subscription to the TEPP (Training and Education
in Professional Psychology) journal, participation in members-only e-mail discussion
lists, and a subscription to the APPIC e-newsletter.
APPIC
MENTORSHIP PROGRAMAPPIC is pleased to offer a mentorship program for internship
and postdoctoral training directors that are interested in joining APPIC and would
