On top of that, most npsych post-docs require APA accredited internships. Thus, the cascade continues well after you complete the program.

I don't understand how a non-APA acred. program survives in such a competitive speciality. Where do their students match for internship? post-doc/fellowship? They very well may receive a wonderful education, but the lack of APA-acred. is a
HUGE stumbling block. Students from good programs still fight for neuro internships & post-docs/fellowships.
