Our organization has submitted an application for membership with the Association of Psychology Postdoctoral and Internship Centers (APPIC), but at this time we are NOT currently an APPIC member. Our doctoral internship program is accepting applications for its first interns for the 2023-2024 training year, beginning in July 2023. Please be advised there is no guarantee our program will be an APPIC member prior to the start of the internship training year. Our internship program is also NOT at this time accredited through the American Psychological Association (APA).
