What do you make of an internship that is only reaccredited by APA for 3 years? Generally speaking--what types of issues might contribute to that? I'm familiar with grad program accreditation (my program just went through ours last year), but I imagine that the accreditation process for internship focuses on different issues. Is a 3 year reaccreditation in an internship more/less/equally concerning as a 3 year reaccreditation in a grad program?
The reason for my question: I'm applying for internship this year and just noticed one of my sites only got a 3 year renewal. That seems pretty concerning, especially because their next site visit is scheduled for late 2014... which means I may have to rank the site in February before they have heard back from APA about the status of their accreditation. If I get an interview at this site, I will certainly ask about it. But for now, I'd like to better understand the internship accreditation process in general. Thanks!
