2013 CAPIC Internship

Members don't see this ad.

Hey, figured I couldn't be the only person doing the CAPIC process as a back-up, so I figured we should start a threat similar to the 2013 APPIC Internship thread. Good luck to all!

I like that you said "threat!"

Bahaha! Nice catch!

Hey everyone! I don't know too much about CAPIC but I was wondering if any of the sites were APA accredited or if they are APA are they only APPIC? Thanks!

CAPIC seems to be a world unto itself. Those sites do not participate in the internship match. Thus, they are not APPIC members and not APA accredited.

Erg has it pretty much right. CAPIC is completely independent of APPIC, and thus are not accredited sites. Internship sites in the CAPIC system basically pay a fee and are allowed to be in CAPIC, and it follows a similar system to APPIC interview/match wise. The largest differences: they are not accredited, there are half-time internships available, and A GOOD PORTION OF THEM DO NOT PAY THEIR INTERNS.

I would like to think that CAPIC provides a launching pad for APPIC; it allows sites to have graduating classes and can present that information to APPIC. I know University of San Francisco and one of the UCSF programs that newly joined APPIC this year were formally CAPIC sites. But there are some sites that will likely never pursue APPIC and get away with working desperate interns for free.

Also, you cannot as an intern participate in CAPIC unless you go to a school in California.

There are a few CAPIC sites that are APPIC though, and just like some CAPICs become APPICs, some APPICs have become CAPICs in the last few years - most of those having to drop to CAPIC due to funding or budget cuts (APPIC requires payment of interns).

Also, I am under the impression that while you can not do CAPIC in rounds 1/2 unless you are at a California/CAPIC-affiliated school, if you are out of state you can still apply to the sites left in the clearinghouse.

Yes most of them don't pay, which sucks, but its an internship, which leads to graduation, which means getting out of school and not accruing more student debt! Stall for a year in the hope of possibly getting something next year, or work for free and get done. I am all about getting done, but everyone has to do what is best for them.

 

[futureapppsy2]

(APPIC requires payment of interns)

Shouldn't people get paid for working 40+ hours a week for a year at a single site as a capstone to a doctoral degree? That's hardly a demanding and unreasonable expectation, IMO.

Hi, All!
I just wanted to say Hello and that I am planning on applying CAPIC this year.
I also applied to APPIC.

Are those of you applying to both planning on applying to CAPIC Rounds I and II, or wait to hear from APPIC Round I and just apply for CAPIC Round II?

I'm also applying to CAPIC sites. My school requires us to apply to CAPIC Round I if we want to do Round II, so I'm doing the whole shebang. However, the process is SERIOUSLY way easier than the APPIC process in terms of requirements, in my opinion. What do you guys think?

Also, I'm wondering what you all know about the MHSA grant process for CAPIC sites. I'd really like to get paid something for full time work...but like you, 25Charlie2, I'm ready to get out of school and on with my life!

 

[PHD12]

I completely understand that people are eager to graduate. However, training at a CAPIC site has enormous implications for your career. When I did my post-doc search recently, I was unable to find any paid postdoctoral fellowships that did not require APA accredited internships (a few were okay with APPIC but did not prefer it). If you are eliminating yourself from consideration for VA, military, Kaiser, medical centers and most counseling centers, where are you going to apply for post-doctoral fellowships and jobs? How are you going to get licensed? Furthermore, even licensed jobs in CA are now requiring APA internships as a minimum criteria (I've seen some postings for counseling centers). CA is a saturated market and the post-docs/job market is at least as competitive as internship (trust me, I matched at a VA internship and its rough out there even for those of us from good programs and top internships that are looking in CA).

Just wanted people to know what the post-doc market is like before making a decision about CAPIC. Unpaid post-docs are out there also for people who complete unaccredited internships, but you have to be willing to work another 1-2 years without pay.

Excellent point. As horrible as the APPIC and APA internship balances are (and they are), I don't think CAPIC is worth the major limitations it places on your career.

 

[25Charlie2]

I understand that CAPIC is not for everyone. This particular thread was not intended to critique or argue those points. Please keep in mind that there is a HUGE APA/APPIC internship imbalance and hundreds of students each year (even from APA-accredited universities) must resort to non-accredited internships, most unpaid. Not everyone who pursues a doctorate in psychology wants to work for the VA, get a post-doc fellowship, or teach at top tier universities. Many of us want to continue our work in undeserved populations through community mental health, or want to have a private practice and teach a class or two at the local community college. Neither of these, as well as many other career paths, require APA/APPIC internships. The vast majority of states do not even require APA/APPIC for state licensure.

I am hopeful that this thread can be a supportive one, for those of us who have decided that this is the right choice for us. I think this can be a positive place where we can provide each other with updates and communicate who has heard from which sites, etc. If you would like to critique and argue the merits of a CAPIC internship, or question other people's decision to pursue this path, you are more than welcome, but I personally would appreciate it if it occurred elsewhere. Internship, APA or not, is stressful enough and trust me, the decisions surrounding choosing CAPIC are not always easy ones.

I wish the best of luck to all who are pursuing an internship, regardless of accreditation status. Again, I hope we can create a supportive environment during this stressful period.

Best,
25Charlie2

Hi, All!
I just wanted to say Hello and that I am planning on applying CAPIC this year.
I also applied to APPIC.

Are those of you applying to both planning on applying to CAPIC Rounds I and II, or wait to hear from APPIC Round I and just apply for CAPIC Round II?

This is how I am approaching the situation...

Now that my APPIC apps are in, I have begun applying to CAPIC sites. I will go forward with all APPIC and CAPIC interviews I get. Fortunately, the dates for APPIC and CAPIC stagger to where you have time to make some tough decisions. The APPIC phase 1 match day is Feb 22nd. That next Monday, Feb 25th, is the day you have to either submit your rankings to CAPIC, or withdraw from the CAPIC match. So, we all can see how APPIC phase 1 plays out before making final decisions. However, I would recommend that those who are planning on trying for CAPIC as a back-up, go ahead and start that process. Applications aren't due until January 18th I believe.

There is a tough decision the weekend of Feb 22nd though. If you decide to go with CAPIC round 1, you forfeit APPIC round 2. Personally, I will make that decision if/when I have to, and it will depend on where/what APPIC sites are still left after round 1. If I think I have a strong chance at APPIC 2, I might forgo CAPIC 1. There is always CAPIC round 2 if I miss APPIC round 2 also (heaven forbid!!). Also, there are clearinghouses for both match groups.

So, I hope that helps some. There are definitely some hard choices to make, especially if you strongly desire to secure an APA/APPIC internship. Good luck!

I agree that CAPIC is much easier, and there is a MUCH higher match rate, which is good. I saw something about the grant process but haven't had a chance to look into it. Hopefully someone here can shed some light.

Also, as negative as some comments have been about not being paid, there are a fair number of paid CAPIC sites, they may not pay as much as other internships, but many try to give some benefits when they can. Personally, I am prioritizing those sites for myself, though I will take a non-paid site if it is in strong alignment with my personal career goals.

Good luck!

 

[maggiepie7]

How many sites are you all applying to? I'm thinking 6 or 7 sites.

 

[happyhappyhappa]

Hey, Everyone!
I never realized how hard it would be for me to feel motivated to apply for CAPIC sites while still interviewing for APPIC/ APA.

I know the *extended* deadline just passed, but has anyone heard from any sites for interviews, yet?

I applied for 15 sites and am so anxious to hear back from them all, already.
I think that I spent all of my patience with APPIC. 😉

I just wanted to confirm, CAPIC does not have an interview notification date like APPIC does, right?

I applied to 6 sites, and have gotten interviews at 3. One of my sites dropped out at the last minute without notifying anyone, which was kind of a major bummer. I'm pretty sure you're right- they don't have a uniform notification date, which is kind of frustrating.

And yes, I am extremely burnt out. I had my last APPIC/APA interview yesterday, and purposefully scheduled the next round starting a week from now so that I could have a week to work up the proper amount of enthusiasm after this grueling process!

Congrats on your 3 interviews!!!
May I ask what sites?
I know people seem less interested in participating in this thread, but I know that the APPIC interview thread was really helpful for me to know when to start preparing myself for rejection (as sad as that sounds), and celebrating with people when they received interviews.

So far, I received a personalized rejection from CSPP Psychological Services Center, SF (Child Track)
The Early Childhood Service track at StarVista has dropped from the match, and they cannot consider those who applied to this track for other tracks with their agency, according to CAPIC rules.

I received a phone screening interview from Girl's Inc of Alameda County (General email with a request to give dates and time this weekend and next week for a 15 minute phone interview)

I have a friend who heard from ANKA in Concord for an interview on Monday.

How about everyone else--- any good or not so good news?
Would you mind sharing which sites?

The interviews are at Oakes Children's Center, Psychological Services Center (Child/Family Track) and Ann Martin Center. Haven't heard anything else yet myself. How does the screen interview work? I know someone who is at Girls Inc this year, and she likes it a lot, for what it's worth. Good luck!

I'm not judging anyone for applying, but just wanted to clarify something since your post has some misinformation for applicants. While its true that you don't need an APA internship for licensure in most states, its quite difficult to get the 1500-2000 postdoctoral hours required for licensure in most states (especially the 4 hours of supervision per week required in CA and other states) without a post-doc at a hospital, va, kaiser, counseling center, established clinic etc. A community mental health center will not generally provide you with 4 hours of supervision per week while you are working there. They simply do not have the resources. People do not do pursue post-doc fellowships simply because they want to go to academia, research or teaching. Many times it is because its required to get an entry level job or because they cannot get licensed otherwise (many jobs will not hire you without a license).

 

[whiteswan79]

Hi. So far, I've received interviews at San Mateo Medical Center and Anka. Good luck everyone!

 

[happyhappyhappa]

Congrats on your interviews!
I interviewed with ANKA for their APPIC position and I really loved the site and the interviewers!
Everyone was so nice.

I have an interview with Girl's Inc on Wednesday, but I haven't heard from any other site.
I am starting to feel nervous!
🙂

Has anyone heard from any of the UC Davis sites? (ASAP or PM&R)

 

[eudaimonPsyD]

Only heard back from the 2 San Mateo sites, one by email and one phone call

I'm not judging anyone either, but I do have to say - I considered applying to CAPIC for my internship many years back (felt clingy about my girlfriend - was in my 20s and stupid) and she emphatically disagreed with the idea, so I stuck with APPIC.

In retrospect, it was one of the best decisions I could have made, despite having to relocate for two years after I graduated.

I think life would have been much, much harder for me had I gone the CAPIC route.

 

[happyhappyhappa]

The interviews are at Oakes Children's Center, Psychological Services Center (Child/Family Track) and Ann Martin Center. Haven't heard anything else yet myself. How does the screen interview work? I know someone who is at Girls Inc this year, and she likes it a lot, for what it's worth. Good luck!

I had 1 phone screening for an APA interview, and then this one for Girl's Inc.
Both worked the same- the TD called to introduce herself, to ask some general questions about my experience (Many she said could be "yes"/"no" answers, such as "Do you have experience working in schools?" "Can you name an instance of negative countertransference?"). The screening lasted a little over 20 minutes. At the end she set up a time for me to come in and interview this week. It surprised me that she wanted to set the interview for the next morning, but as I am out of the area, I had to request an interview later in the week to accommodate travel.

All in all the screening call was pretty straight forward and easy- it makes me appreciate though how difficult phone interviews are.
Congrats on your interviews! I met with the folks with the Psychological Services Center at the CAPIC fair and really loved their passion for their work!
Please, do keep this board posted with any of your other interviews and experiences!
🙂
It is so neat to be able to celebrate with people when they receive good news!

 

[maggiepie7]

Hi guys,

Just heard from Portia Bell Hume Center with an option to interview on Wednesday, Feb.6 or Wednesday, Feb. 13. Interviews of an hour each, at their Concord office.

 

[happyhappyhappa]

Congrats on your interview!!! Woohoo!

I received an interview for UC Davis PM&R, Adult Neuro track with options for Feb 11 or Feb 12.
It looks like they are offering two time slots both days and they will be group interviews.
Sadly, it appears that they have filled their Peds and Adult Neuro/Spine Center tracks will be closed this year, as they filled those positions with post-docs.

Has anyone heard from the UC Davis ASAP Programs or Woodland Community College?

 

[Therapist4Chnge]

There is such a pressure to go somewhere/keep progressing once you get to the point of applying for internship, that some of the less obvious hurdles get missed when pursuing a non-acred./informal/other type of internship (like tracking hours, making sure you register with the state licensing board, getting your hours signed off on per your state's regs, etc). I think SDN has become a better resource for CAPIC info, though it is still important to do your own research. Best of luck to everyone.

Received an interview for UC Davis Health System ASAP. They were gracious enough to let me do a phone interview since I couldn't be there in person.

Hey, Everyone!
I received an interview for UCD ASAP (Medical Facility) and for Alameda Family Services.

I have not heard from Glendale, yet, either. 🙁

Also, I was wondering if anyone who received an APPIC interview received a CAPIC interview with the same site?
I interviewed for an APPIC spot with AACI and ANKA and applied again for CAPIC but have not heard anything from them, so I wasn't sure if I royally screwed up the interview or if they just are not re-interviewing people.

I'm waiting to hear from:
Woodland Community College
Glendale Adventist
ANKA
Asian Americans for Community Involvement
St Mary's
Partners/ STARS
and
Oakes Children's

Has anyone heard from any of these sites?

I'm crossing my fingers, toes, and eyeballs for all of us! 😀
May the perfect placement be in all of our futures!

Alameda county had a 1st round interview last night. They will be interviewing by rotation, and those going for neuro were invited to grand rounds for their interview.

Rejection from St Mary's a couple days ago.

Thanks for the response, though the Alameda one was a brain-bugger. I got the e-mail this morning from Alameda that our materials were being forwarded to the various rotations. I wasn't able to make interview last night, but I am hoping that won't rule me out. I'm going to try to make the Feb. 15th grand rounds if possible.

 

[whiteswan79]

Hi all!

I've heard from Palomar (inpatient only). They just emailed me yesterday. I've also received interviews at UCSF- Behavioral Health Track and Scripps Medical Center.

I've heard from Anka and San Mateo Medical Center just offered me a second interview.

I've heard that some people have been offered interviews at Alameda Medical Center. It's possible that they are still sending out interview invites though.

I hope this info helps! Good luck everyone!

I personally didn't apply twice. The sites I looked at that are both APPIC and CAPIC seemed to be offering the same position in both matches (same pay, dates, hours, etc.). I applied to those site through APPIC, and then used my CAPIC spots for other sites. I wouldn't worry, sites have limited time and since you interviewed through APPIC, they know you and if they are interested will likely rank you in the APPIC match. Do dual APPIC/CAPIC sites try to fill spots first with APPIC applicants, and go to CAPIC applicants as a back-up like us?

Also, I heard from Anka a week or two ago, though they might still be offering interviews. I have only had one formal rejection, and I am not sure if CAPIC follows the same procedure as APPIC where every site is suppose to notify you of whether you are rejected or under consideration. Does anyone know if we will definitely hear from everyone? Should I assume that if I haven't heard I am still in the running?

Last year when I went through CAPIC I heard from every site good or bad. It's still early February, so I think some sites are still making decisions.

 

[maggiepie7]

How are interviews coming along for everyone?

 

[happyhappyhappa]

I am so thankful to be nearly done with Round I of interviews, but I still have not heard from several sites. I learned that there are some CAPIC sites with training programs that I love (some even more than APPIC training programs, in terms of opportunities matching my interests) and that leave me scratching my head as to why they are not an APPIC site, yet. I have also learned that there is officially such a thing as a "bad match" for me, and am really wrestling with the idea of not ranking a site because I don't know about my fit there.

In addition, I still have yet to hear from a few sites that have not been mentioned on this forum.
Has anyone heard from (or heard of someone hearing from):
Glendale Adventist Health
Asian Americans for Community Involvement
Partners/Stars

Also, the 19th is supposed to be the day that sites inform student's of no ranking.
Do you know if sites that have interviewed the applicant will still inform them of no ranking?

 

[happyhappyhappa]

Hello, All!
How is everyone holding up with Match Day up and coming for APPIC and with the notification day for No Ranking TODAY for CAPIC?

Has anyone heard from a CAPIC site today about not being considered for ranking?
I sure have not- I wonder how many of them actually follow that rule and contact applicants...

Hello, All!
How is everyone holding up with Match Day up and coming for APPIC and with the notification day for No Ranking TODAY for CAPIC?

Has anyone heard from a CAPIC site today about not being considered for ranking?
I sure have not- I wonder how many of them actually follow that rule and contact applicants...

I heard "No" from California College of the Arts, and that I'm under consideration PSC-SF. I was also invited to an open house last night at Ann Martin but don't know if that reflects on my standing/ranking at all. No word from the others, but I still have one more interview on Thursday, at Alameda Family Services.

Good luck to all, this week and next! I hope we all match to our favorite spots!!

Hi, Everyone!
Happy few days after the CAPIC Match!
Does anyone have any good news?
🙂

I matched with UCD PM&R.

There are lots of great sites left for Round II!
I am keeping my fingers crossed for everyone!

I have a question for those involved in the CAPIC match process. Does CAPIC put out match data like APPIC does? I am curious because I could not find any online. Is there a resource for this information? Please let me know.

Just wanted to see if there was anyone on here going through round 2? I haven't heard back from a whole lot of sites yet...

I'm going for capic round two and have been offered some interviews. Like you, I go to one of the diploma-stained schools. This is my second year trying to procure an internship and I am completely burned out from this process ... And broke. I hope we both have better luck in phase 2.

I personally didn't apply twice. The sites I looked at that are both APPIC and CAPIC seemed to be offering the same position in both matches (same pay, dates, hours, etc.). I applied to those site through APPIC, and then used my CAPIC spots for other sites. I wouldn't worry, sites have limited time and since you interviewed through APPIC, they know you and if they are interested will likely rank you in the APPIC match. Do dual APPIC/CAPIC sites try to fill spots first with APPIC applicants, and go to CAPIC applicants as a back-up like us?

Also, I heard from Anka a week or two ago, though they might still be offering interviews. I have only had one formal rejection, and I am not sure if CAPIC follows the same procedure as APPIC where every site is suppose to notify you of whether you are rejected or under consideration. Does anyone know if we will definitely hear from everyone? Should I assume that if I haven't heard I am still in the running?

I'm at Anka right now for my practicum, and had asked them about the APPIC/CAPIC situation. My supervisor said they reserve a number of spot for APPIC and a few spots for CAPIC, and they don't cross over. So if they don't fill up for APPIC, they do round 2. They can't legally bump the open spots to CAPIC.

Can anyone with access to the CAPIC system tell me if there's a stipend? They showed up in the post-match vacancy and it's a health site that looks good to me....But I can't register for CAPIC because I'm not in CA.
