cilinical postdoc for international students?

[SummerBrk]

Hi,
I'm a graduate of PhD in clinical psychology from outside of the US. I also completed two years of internship and I have US citizenship. I would like to apply for clinical psychology postdoc, but it seems that this route is open only for graduates of APA accredited PhD/PsyD programs (US and CAN programs).

My questions:
What I should do so that my PhD and internship will be accredited by the APA?
Are there other ways to get into postdoctoral program?

I really appreciate any help...

It is an uphill battle w/o APA/CPA acred. Maybe a research heavy place will cover your hours if you are a good match for them?

Not going to work: you'd have to show equivalence including matching coursework, 2 practicums, internship, etc. I'm guessing your two internships are similar to practicums which leaves out a real internship and the standard coursework.
