| Interview process description: |
Intern selection is made by a committee comprised of the training director, associate training director, and the supervising training psychologists. Applicants are rated on the basis of their clinical training (i.e., assessment and therapy), academic coursework, letter of recommendation, clinical and research interests, progress toward dissertation completion, and stated goals for internship. Strong writing skills are also favorably evaluated, as evidenced by the AAPI essays and redacted psychological report. Those prospective candidates assessed by the committee to hold interests and goals most closely matching those opportunities offered by our program will be asked to participate in a virtual interview.
Due to our holistic review of applications, prospective candidates will be notified via email by Friday December 15, 2023 whether or not they will be granted a virtual interview (via Zoom) with the training director and supervisors. During the interview, candidates may also have the opportunity to meet with the current doctoral interns, postdoctoral fellow(s), clinical staff, and virtually tour the clinic. Interviews are typically scheduled for half a day and will be held on three days in January 2024 (tentatively on 01/10/24, 01/12/24, and 01/17/24). Interviews are required and weigh heavily in the matching process, as this provides an opportunity for program staff and applicants to determine fit. In addition, the program values applicants who are able to demonstrate an ability to balance strong interpersonal skills with professionalism. Interviews will only be offered to applicants who have submitted a complete application and only after these applications have been screened by the faculty. Applicants who wish to be considered for interviews should submit application materials prior to November 15, 2023.
