“…Another breakthrough in the selection process occurred when APPIC adopted a uniform application, the APPIC Application for Psychology Internship (AAPI). Holiday and McPhearson (1996) described the development of the first version of this long overdue innovation. Not only has the uniform application benefited students but, potentially, it could provide a stable database for ongoing studies of internship related phenomena, although this latter benefit has yet to be fully utilized.…”

Ten years ago (Stedman, 1997), I published a review of the extensive body of work related to all facets of the internship enterprise. The current review highlights many positive accomplishments of the last 10 years, including establishing the match, the uniform internship application format, the quantification of selection variables, and a deeper understanding of the training pathway. However, serious problems have surfaced, including the shortfall of internship slots and the impact of economic forces leading some to question the continuing relevance of internship as it currently exists. These issues call for deliberation and decision making by the profession, guided by research, both current and yet to be conducted.

“…One of the most substantial improvements occurred when APPIC adopted an optional standardized application form, the APPIC Application for Psychology Internship (AAPI), in the 1997–1998 internship year. The AAPI has eliminated much of the redundancy faced by previous intern applicants, but perhaps more important, it demonstrates that standardization is possible even in the diverse profession of psychology (Holaday & McPhearson, 1996). Data from the AAPI are already providing feedback to internship directors, directors of clinical training, and others because benchmarks are emerging with regard to some universally accepted competencies within and across programs.…”

The historical context of the predoctoral internship system is contrasted with the current state of graduate training. The internship system emerged because psychology students often acquired insufficient clinical experience during graduate training in the mid-20th century. However, modern graduate training typically involves extensive supervised clinical contact prior to internship. Moreover, traditional internships exact significant financial, psychological, and personal costs from students. The authors conclude with a discussion of recent progress in the internship process, promising alternatives to traditional internship training (i.e., elective internship training, distributed clinical training, and the affiliated internship model), and implications for the profession.

“…In addition, training directors supported APPIC's development of a universal application form that APPIC used during the 1998 selection process. Holiday and MacPhearson (1996) described the issues involved in the development of a uniform application form and concluded that a standardized form would benefit students. The Association of Psychology Graduate Students (S. Lopez, personal communication, November 4, 1998) indicated their strong support for a universal application form, and the results of our study support APPIC's use and refinement of the APPIC application for psychology internships.…”

As an internship applicant, do you know what internship agencies look for to select or exclude you from further consideration? In a survey, the authors examined exclusion and inclusion criteria used at 402 internship sites accredited by the American Psychological Association (APA). The 249 respondents (62%) rated fit between applicant goals and site opportunities as the most important inclusion criteria. Four exclusion criteria (lack of completion of orals, lack of APA status of doctoral program, poor fit between applicant goals and site opportunities, and incomplete doctoral course work) were most commonly used to eliminate applicants from consideration. Graduate students and graduate faculty members want and need to know the applicant characteristics that internship programs seek in their top candidates and also the criteria that are used to exclude candidates from consideration. Trainers and trainees alike recognize that the predoctoral internship is one of the most important experiences required in the graduate training of professional psychologists (Suran, Crivolio, & Kupst, 1977). Since 1976, investigations into selection criteria have yielded consistent results. In somewhat different order, a number of studies have found that the following criteria are influential to training directors in their se
