APPIC Application for Psychology Internship (AAPI)
The application was created with input from APPIC internships site and APA-accredited academic programs in the United States and Canada and, as a result, requests information about a wide range of clinical experiences and assessment tools. There is no expectation that an intern applicant will have experience in all clinical areas or with all assessment instruments listed, or is licensed as a mental health provider.
This application (AAPI) is formatted so that it may be completed on a computer. If more space is required to provide information (e.g., your address) please create the space needed. Internship sites may also require site specific information from you to supplement the AAPI.
You can get a copy of the AAPI application form from http://www.appic.org (click AAPI online)
