AAPI DCT VERIFICATION PORTAL
This portal is for academic Directors of Clinical Training (DCTs) to verify their students’ internship eligibility and readiness. DCTS will NOT have access to this portal until one of their students submits their AAPI for DCT Verification. Once a student submits their AAPI for DCT Verification, the DCT will receive an email, entitled “Director of Clinical Training Request” from “no-reply@time2track.com” with portal login information. Note, the AAPI DCT Verification Portal functions optimally on Chrome or Firefox browsers.
AAPI REMINDERS FOR YOUR STUDENTS
- On 9/16, students can add internship programs to their AAPI portal. At that point, they can then input letter writer information and attach their cover letters, essays, CVs, and supplemental materials to the applications for their selected sites. Beginning October 1, applicants can begin submitting their applications!
- Remind your students to double-check that they added the right internship program to their site list within their AAPI portal by cross-checking the site’s APPIC Program Member Number.
- Please STRONGLY advise your students to NOT wait until 11pm the night before the application is due. There are always glitches, surges, and other phenomena that are not always in our control. Students should aim to submit their applications at least 72 hours prior to the deadline
- Remind your students that ALL internship sites' portals will close on 11:59pm EASTERN STANDARD TIME on their specified deadline date in the AAPI portal regardless of the time zone of the internship program.
TRACKING STUDENTS’ SUBMITTED APPLICATIONS
Throughout the application cycle, DCTs can monitor their students' internship applications via the DCT Dashboard, which provides an onscreen view (or downloadable report) of all applications, including the accreditation status of each site. Additionally, until June 30th of each cycle, DCTs have the option to download copies of each student's AAPI submission for that cycle. APPIC recommends that DCTs download and archive one copy of each student's AAPI for their files, as students may need these documents for future postdoc or licensure purposes.
TRAINING RESOURCES
In April 2022, APPIC provided a 3-hour Webinar entitled, “All Things Internship!

AAPI also offers AAPI Q&A Sessions for DCTs as the new application cycle begins. Information about these sessions can be found in the APPIC Calendar.
