Brief description of the typical work day for an intern at this training site Intern daily schedules and experiences vary by site; however, most interns work normal daily hours (8am - 5pm) with some sites requiring evening on-call or weekend duties. In events that the schedule varies from the normal 8-5, the interns are comped time (come in later or receive a different day off when weekend duties arise). These requirements are laid out in the intern manual and discussed prior to internship so interns are aware of the expectations. Most sites provide regular outpatient therapy experiences with some assessment and some inpatient training. All of the sites listen to the interests of the interns and try their best to individualize the internship experience (as much as is possible) to provide opportunities the interns request. More information about the sites can be found on our website.

Internship Application Process
Accepting Applicants: Yes
Application Due Date: 11/22/2026 11:59 PM EST
A Virtual Interview are: Required
Interview notification date: 12/04/2026
Tentative interview date: N/A
Interview process description:

The National Psychology Training Consortium (NPTC) requires that the AAPI Online application service be used by all applicants to be considered for our internship training program. Each of our regions is a separate application, and each site within our regions is listed as a separate experience. For example, applicants will find the following six application options within AAPI:

  • National Psychology Training Consortium – Central Region
  • National Psychology Training Consortium – Great Lakes Region
  • National Psychology Training Consortium – Cascades Region
  • National Psychology Training Consortium - Cy-Hawk Region 
  • National Psychology Training Consortium – Pacific Region
  • National Psychology Training Consortium – Prairie Sky Region

Our sites are listed much like “tracks” or “rotations” are listed within other internships. You can apply to as many or as few of these opportunities as you choose within one regional application (i.e. you still only pay for three applications even if you apply to 14 different locations!). However, due to the limitations of the AAPI, only one cover letter can be submitted. In your cover letter for each region, please indicate all the sites you are applying to in separate paragraphs, listing the various ways you are a good fit for each. Our sites are accustomed to this practice and will not penalize anyone for mentioning other sites in their cover letter.

The following information is required:

  • Cover letter specifying the sites being applied to and why the intern is a good fit for each
  • APPIC AAPI as designated on the online application
  • Three letters of reference
  • One psychological evaluation report writing sample submitted as supplemental material.

NPTC hosts a Virtual Open House in September to provide a general overview of the training program and specific details about our Regions. Find more information about this event on our Virtual Open House page. For timeline information regarding the application and interview process, see our NPTC Timeline page.

Eligible applications are reviewed and ranked by a combination of NPTC staff and individual site directors. A select group of applicants are invited for interview. Notification of invitation to interview will be made by December 4th.

Interviews will be conducted separately by site in a virtual format. Applicants who are invited to interview will coordinate with each agency to schedule separate interviews based on site and applicant availability. Interviews will be provided on an individual basis and will last 30-60 minute depending on site.

Other Requirements: NPTC-Great Lakes accepts applicants from non-APA accredited schools, but only those that have had or that have been approved for an APA site visit. Please note that travel to orientation and one additional in-person didactic event at the end of the year is required. In-person events are located in central Indiana (Indianapolis / Noblesville). Due to the travel required between locations, some sites reimburse interns for travel costs and/or provide accommodations for interns for these events. Applicants should review the map located on the NPTC website (http://psychologyinterns.org/great-lakes-current-sites/) and make note of the distance between the site(s) they wish to apply and central Indiana. Adult and Child Health and Centerstone require interns to receive the COVID-19 vaccination or an approved exemption prior to the internship start date. Many NPTC sites require background checks and drug screens prior to beginning the internship. Eligibility to begin internship, even after match, is contingent upon the intern passing these tests. If a matched intern fails to pass a background check or drug screen, NPTC reserves the right to withdraw the invitation to match with the intern. For more detailed information on which sites require background checks and what their specific requirements are, please see the individual site pages on our website.
Program Description

The National Psychology Training Consortium (NPTC), is a collaborative consortium consisting of psychological service centers throughout the United States focused on the provision of services in rural health care. NPTC-Great Lakes Region was founded in 2013 based on the model of the original NPTC-Central region (founded in 2003 as Heart of America Psychology Training Consortium). NPTC-Great Lakes is comprised of sites in Indiana and Ohio. NPTC-Great Lakes received full Accreditation in 2017 by the Commission on Accreditation of the American Psychological Association. Our site visit was in 2021 and the region recieved a 10-year accreditation renewal. NPTC-Great Lakes has been an APPIC Member since 2013. The Administrative Office for NPTC-Great Lakes is located in the NPTC-Central Region in Springfield, Missouri.

NPTC seeks to train prospective psychologists in the integration of the discipline and practice of clinical psychology employing an empirically-informed competency-based practitioner-scholar model. The program provides experiences in clinical learning environments that are responsive to the diverse and changing needs of the human community. NPTC provides psychology interns the opportunity to take substantial responsibility for fulfilling major professional and psychological functions in the context of appropriate supervisory support and professional role modeling. NPTC also partners with various organizations including academic programs, community agencies, private hospitals, and independent practitioners to provide a graded, cumulative, and sequential training environment. The objective of the internship is to prepare entry-level practitioners to function effectively in a variety of mental health settings and to provide services to a variety of populations in rural health care.

NPTC believes that the competent practice of psychology requires an integration of scientific and professional knowledge, skills, and attitudes. Thus, NPTC’s internship training incorporates diverse psychological theories, approaches, and perspectives that are designed to prepare psychology interns for a broad range of professional roles and activities. The training program is also attuned to the continually expanding scope and evolving nature of the field and the likelihood that Clinical Psychologists will engage in multiple roles over the course of their professional careers.

NPTC is committed to promoting and infusing diversity into every facet of the training experience and is dedicated to providing Psychology Interns with opportunities to work with populations in a variety of settings that promote and provide necessary exposure to diverse populations and issues. In addition, NPTC recognizes the importance of multicultural awareness and competence in the provision of professional services and strives to prepare entry-level practitioners to meet the needs of a progressively global and dynamic society.

Applicants can apply to as many sites within the Consortium as they wish. Applicants should specifically state in their cover letter which site(s) they are applying to and why they feel they are a good fit.
