Application Procedures

Our internship program considers doctoral interns from Clinical, Counseling, and School Psychology programs that are APA accredited, or well underway in the accreditation process. A major focus of our screening and selection process is to identify individuals who have training and experience in working with children and/or adolescents. Additionally, because of the potential for abuse in working with minors, we look closely at the Professional Conduct section of Part I of the APPIC Application for Psychology Internship (AAPI) and the Evaluation of Applicant section of Part II of the AAPI which is completed by the graduate program’s Training Director. Personal interviews are required to give both the applicant and the Psychology Training Committee a chance to mutually assess their matching potentials. During interview of applicants we also consider interpersonal variables that would support the close Mentor aspect of our program.

The deadline for receipt of the completed application and paperwork is November 15th and the following materials must be submitted together in one envelope in order to be considered for an interview:

1. APPIC Application for Psychology Internship (AAPI) Parts 1 & 2
   Available at www.appic.org.
2. Vita
3. Three Sealed Letters of Reference
4. Official Graduate Transcripts sent directly from the registrar.

Send all application materials to:

Ana M. Faraci, Ph.D.
Director of Psychology Training
11025 SW 84 St.
Miami, Florida 33173
