APPIC Membership

Agencies sponsoring internship and postdoctoral training programs may choose to become members of APPIC. APPIC members must meet certain membership criteria in order to become and remain members. Training programs that are interested in joining APPIC or renewing their membership should click here for more information and to proceed to the eMembership Portal to upload materials required for membership. Membership applications are reviewed twice annually. The application deadlines are April 1 and September 1 of each year (applications must have completed their eMembership application by that date to be reviewed during the Spring or Fall meetings). APPIC is a membership program and is not an accreditation process and cannot assure educational quality of a member program. Applicants for the fall cycle MUST register as NON MEMBERS for the APPIC Match through National Matching Service prior to their application being considered.

Academic programs that offer doctoral degrees in psychology may become APPIC “Doctoral Program Associates.” The subscription package provides substantial benefits to the academic program and its students. Click here for more information.

While students and postdoctoral residents do not have any formal membership status with APPIC, they may take advantage of the many services that were developed specifically for their use. Click here for more information.

APPIC allows programs to use the category “Withdrawing” when they no longer believe they will be recruiting and intern or postdoctoral class but want to stay members for APPIC. The status “withdrawing” allows programs to remain members while they address issues of membership (i.e., securing funding for the next class, securing the required number of licensed supervisors, and/or other issues that affect the stability of the program).
