Degree Requirements Collected From the Clinical Training Office

• Practicum documentation (1000 hours)

• Internship documentation (1500 hours)

• Personal Therapy documentation (60 hours)

*Student Clinical Training File is closed out and sent to the Office of the Registrar for storage when all above requirements have been documented.

Overview of Internship Training

• Internship experience is an organized sequence of supervised training experiences that build upon the skills and competencies acquired during the pre-doctoral coursework and practicum placement and must include the five following components: • Formal training in advanced clinical practice, including diagnosis, treatment

planning, case management, intervention, clinical case review and, preferably, psychological assessment.

• Direct client contact and responsibility for independently managing a caseload. • Ongoing supervision by a licensed clinical psychologist. • A formal, didactic training program as an ongoing aspect of the program. • A variety of direct client contact.

• Internship programs are often accredited by agencies which uphold universal training standards. Students are strongly encouraged to seek an internship which is accredited at a level acceptable to state licensure.

Accreditation Bodies

Internships are generally accredited by various agencies and organizations and their level of accreditation may impact the student’s ability to become licensed in a given jurisdiction.

The California Psychology Internship Council (CAPIC) is a California based membership organization that promotes and develops standards for internship programs in California.

The Association of Psychology Post Doctoral and Internship Centers (APPIC) is a national membership organization that promotes and develops standards for internship programs.

APA-approved internship sites are internship placements that are accredited by the American Psychological Association.

PSYCHOLOGICAL ASSISTANT POSITIONS • Currently, the California Board of Psychology accepts towards licensure pre-doctoral internship hours

accrued as a registered psychological assistant.

• It is noted that anyone obtaining a pre-doctoral psychological assistant position must register the position with the board of psychology and wait for their approval prior to beginning the supervised experience.

• The Office of the DCT ordinarily discourages students from accruing internship hours in this manner. It is more difficult to obtain appropriately broad clinical experience appropriate to the internship stage of training in such a setting, although such settings are typically appropriate at the post-doctoral level. Additionally, it is often more difficult to obtain direct service experience at a rate comparable to an organized program.

• Psychological assistantships are either private practice settings or agency settings (A psychiatrist may only supervise up to 750 of the required 1500 hours of internship).

• Please read the ‘Laws and Regulations Relating to the Practice of Psychology 2012’ Issued by the California Board of Psychology at http://www.psychology.ca.gov/laws_regs/2012lawsregs.pdf to make yourself familiar with the regulations you should be following while in internship.

Internship Restrictions • Pre-existing paid professional positions may never serve as

internship. The internship should be an organized, self-contained training experience meeting Pacifica’s requirements.

• Normally, students are expected to complete internship hours at an agency different from the site in which they obtained practicum hours. A student may petition the DCT to allow them to continue at a prior placement for internship under the following conditions: ○ The training site is large and diverse enough to offer additional training

beyond which the student has already received

○ The internship training is offered at a higher level of intensity and responsibility than the prior practicum training

How to start Application Process If you plan to apply for internship this upcoming academic year 2014/2015 you must

In order to be eligible to start internship, you must

Important To Remember Maintain careful weekly logs

(CAPIC sites have their own weekly log. Several training sites have different versions of the weekly log).

It is your responsibility to follow

BoP regulations from the state you plan to become licensed. A list of CA BoP regulations on hours can be found on page 102 & 103 (section 1387.5) of the BoP regulations Book: http://www.psychology.ca.gov/laws_regs/2012lawsregs.pdf

You are responsible to keep copies of your completed paperwork (applications to site, Pacifica forms, Supervisor evaluations, weekly logs, etc.).

Make sure the Supervisor Evaluation of Student forms are being submitted to the clinical training office semi-annually.

Liability insurance is renewed annually. It is your responsibility to avoid a lapse. Only hours accrued while you are covered will count towards Pacifica’s pre-doc internship training requirement.

Notify us (via Status Change form) Separation From Site A Break in Accrual of Hours (i.e. Supervisor is out for

medical reasons. Intern cannot accrue hours) Increase/Decrease of Supervision Hours Increase/Decrease of Hours Accrued New Primary Supervisor New Delegated Supervisor Difficulties/Challenges with training site or supervisor

APPIC policy change regarding APA

Effective with the 2018 APPIC Match (i.e., the 2017-18 application cycle) for internship positions beginning in 2018 or after, APPIC is restricting the application process to only students from APA accredited schools (Pacifica does not have APA accreditation)

APPIC Application Information

Students will use the APPIC Internship Matching Program to apply to internship sites across the Unites States and Canada. http://www.appic.org/

APPIC uses the online APPIC Application for Psychology Internships (AAPI).

The application (AAPI online) is a standardized application, but each site has its own application instructions and deadlines. It is the student’s responsibility to be familiar with the sites’ application procedures, requirements and deadlines. Some sites may require additional information, which can be electronically attached via the AAPI online.

AAPI (APPIC Application for Psychology Internships) Online is organized by four Portals

o Applicant Portal (student/applicant creates and develops application) o DCT Portal (director of clinical training will verify your practicum experience and readiness for

internship; DCT will not have access to the portal until the student requests it in the AAPI online applicant portal)

o Reference Portal (references will upload letters of recommendations here; after the student indicates the references and their contact information, the individuals giving the references will receive an email with the link and instructions to the reference portal)

o Selection Portal (for internship programs to access and review submitted applications)
