The HCMC internship program abides by the APPIC policy of not soliciting or accepting any ranking-related information from applicants prior to the APPIC Match Day. Also, in accordance
with APPIC recommendations, we will attempt to notify all applicants whether or not they will be invited to an HCMC Open House by the suggested December 15 deadline.
Selected applicants are invited to attend the Open House, which is usually held on the first Monday in January. During the Open House, prospective interns are introduced to the program and staff, participate in group interviews with the faculty, and tour the facility with current trainees. Unstructured time to interact with faculty and trainees is also provided.
Only students from APA-accredited graduate programs will be considered. Preference is given to applicants from programs in clinical and school psychology. Graduate students from counseling programs, who have an interest in pursuing clinical training, will be considered, also. Adequate preparation for the internship includes completion of basic graduate coursework and 400 practicum hours in assessment and intervention. Experience with both children and adults is desirable.
For questions or additional information about the HCMC internship program, contact the
Training Director, Dr. Monica Mandell, by email at monica.mandell@hcmed.org or by phone at (612) 873-4052.
