APPIC Member #: 1508
Site Name: Louis Stokes Cleveland VA Medical Center
Location: Cleveland, OH
Training Director: James DeLamatre, Ph.D.; [email protected] - 216-791-38001, Ext 66818
Louis Stokes Cleveland VA Medical Center Psychology Internship has moved its application deadline from Mon Nov 2, 2020 to Mon Nov 16, 2020, and will announce invitations to interview by CoB Tue Dec 8th. Staffing changes and COVID related adjustments have created uncertainty for the Oncology/Hospice and Cares Tower Rehab Rotations and the Blind Rehabilitation enrichment for the 2021-2022 year. If we cannot offer those rotations we will still ensure our focus track in rehabilitation psychology by shifting experiences to other rehabilitation settings. Other rotation offerings remain essentially the same; please review our brochure. We will be selecting six interns for the 2021-2022 year.
Applicants have likely noted that last summer APA CoA placed our internship into “Accredited, on probation” status. CoA’s concerns that led to probation were: (1) The supervision information we submitted did not clearly reflect that we met all CoA requirements for the ‘additional’ 2 hours of supervision (of the 4 required hours all interns receive); (2) our competency evaluation tool did not clearly reflect some of the required elements for each competency area; (3) our presentation of outcomes data did not clearly illustrate all of the data required; and (4) information submitted did not clearly describe the methods Psychology Service uses to assess the effectiveness of ongoing efforts to recruit and retain diverse faculty/staff. Please review our brochure or inquire if you would like further information about corrections we have made to address CoA’s concerns. We cannot guarantee any outcome, but we will be reviewed again in the Spring 2021 Accreditation Meeting.
We take the feedback from CoA with the utmost seriousness and appreciation of the concerns that led to probation. There is of course a risk that our accreditation will be revoked and there is no denying that lack of an APA accredited internship closes some doors. In considering the risks of applying, please also note that we have been continuously accredited since 1979, have graduated over 400 interns, and have consistent feedback from alumni that their training here was excellent and their time enjoyable. Our graduates are employed in many industry sectors including the VA, private hospitals, community agencies, and academia. We remain dedicated to providing high quality training in psychology, and most importantly, we remain dedicated to the highest standards of professionalism and training ensured by the APA Standards of Accreditation.
Yes; Many of us on SDN are on selection and training committees. I completely agree with what @WisNeuro says below, and would add that asking for sincere feedback on your application a) demonstrates maturity b) shows continued interest should someone else back out or the match not result in all positions being filled c) is a fantastic growth opportunity.
I've given tough feedback (ie: you clearly didn't proofread or get feedback from interested advisors/ peers; your essays demonstrate superficial development/reflection in areas that are critical to success in our program) or feedback as simple as "not enough _____" where anything from reports, instruments, hours, supervision or professional development is plugged in. It's sometimes evident in applications that applicants want any _____ program (neuro, trauma, rehab, surg, peds, etc) and not OUR program, and we do give that feedback. We take fit very seriously; We hope our applicants do, too.
To the anxiety about programs pre-judging/ranking applicants before interviews.... just remember, you have your top choices/ranking pre-interview too!
And yes, those rankings do change based on our shared meetings. If you make it to an interview with us, and you appear to be as-represented on paper, you are now being ranked based on demonstrating agreement with core values of the program during your interview (minus giant red flags). My program doesn't pity-invite, or interview anyone we wouldn't considering hiring based on their accepted application.
Me too! Fingers crossed for sure!
4 rejections in one day 🙃. This is such a fun process. It’s like the Six Flags of application processes. Don’t you all agree? 🤗
Awesome! I would love this kind of feedback.

Same 😞 the letter was very kind tho, which I also appreciate!
Lot of changes in this one after the healthcare system laid off like 10% of it's workforce, and is closing down 2 hospitals.

Which sites in the consortium did you apply to?

I am expecting this but haven't received it yet. I am fascinated by the idea of a personalized rejection letter (assuming you mean more than your name was inserted) so my curiosity is piqued!
@Action_Potential this is helpful and gives me some confidence to reach out to a couple of programs I really care about and would be interested in post-docing (sp?) at. Appreciate you taking the time to share!
I was also rejected from this site and I wouldn’t say it was super personalized. I think it may have been an insert the name into the mass letter type thing. Mine basically said “we received a large number of applications for a small number of positions, so unfortunately we cannot interview many applicants who, Like you, have received good training and who would have done quite well here”

I haven’t received anything either way yet but I’m assuming they just send out their rejections on a different day
Would you not recommend the site
I would just be sure to ask about how they plan to weather the change in interviews.
Thank you! & best of luck! 🤞🏼
I’m on the same boat, but mine is on Tuesday. I will recommend emailing by tomorrow to double-check. I’ll do this on Monday, if I don’t hear back.

Yeah it was just personalized in that they listed my name and address in the letter and didn’t send in a mass email. But I still appreciate the time that takes, as none of my other rejections have done that.
