We are proud to announce that for the 4th consecutive year, MSP’s students attained a 100% match rate in the Association of Psychology Postdoctoral and Internship Centers (APPIC) Match!
Both APPIC and APA have established standards for internship programs to ensure quality training during the internship year. Like other APA accredited doctoral programs, MSP expects doctoral students to obtain internships through the APPIC Match process. Additionally, APA expects doctoral programs to place at least 75% of their students in APA accredited internships.
This year, there were about 500 more applicants than internship positions in the APPIC Match. Despite this imbalance, MSP students continued to be successful in the APPIC Match. Eight MSP students participated in the match this year. Six (75%) matched to APA-accredited sites and two (25%) matched to an APPIC member site that is actively pursuing APA accreditation. Students matched to a total of seven different sites across three states.
Congratulations to our doctoral students who secured APPIC/APA internships for the 2025-2026 year and our Director of Clinical Training Dr. Dustin Shepler, and Clinical Training Coordinators Carol Hanson and Reem Fakherddine for all their hard work!
