Hi Everyone,
I posted my first thread a couple days ago, about my PsyD program and the problems I am facing.
My program is set up to give us the minimum amount of hours required for many APPIC internships (450 assessment/intervention, 150 supervision). However, we do not obtain all of these hours by the time we apply for internship.
Will internship sites take prospective hours into consideration? I will probably have about 300 face-to-face hours by the time I apply for internship. I know that this is abysmal, and am doing everything I can to try to improve it, but that's my sad reality.
Our program tells us that prospective hours count towards internship applications, and that sites will take into consideration that we will still have 8 months of practica and will accumulate hours after the application deadline. I haven't been able to find this information on the APPIC website or in any of the old threads. Can someone confirm for me whether or not this is true?
Thanks,
Discouraged PsyD
