Applications to our internship program are submitted using the APPIC Application for Psychology Internship (AAPI) online, which you can access at the AAPI Online website. All application materials must be submitted using this portal.

The electronic application includes:

• Completed AAPI
• Curriculum vitae
• Detailed cover letter, specifying why you are interested in IUPUI CAPS
• Three letters of recommendation, including at least two from supervisors familiar with your clinical skills
• Graduate school transcripts

The Intern Selection Committee includes all staff and current interns. Each application is read and reviewed by several committee members.  The application deadline is mid-November of each year. We adhere to the uniform notification date of December 15 to invite applicants for interviews or let them know that they are no longer under consideration. Applicants will be notified by email regarding their interview status.

Interviews by Zoom (or telephone) typically occur during the first two weeks of January. Applicants will be interviewed by at least two senior staff members and will have the opportunity to contact current interns to learn more about the site. The structured interview will last an hour. An additional hour on the interview day allows applicants to meet the rest of the staff and engage in Q&A with the training director. There will be opportunities during the interview and the TD Q&A for applicants to ask questions and learn more about IUPUI CAPS, the training program, and life in Indianapolis.

Immediately following candidate interviews, the Selection Committee will meet to rank applicants. Applicants will not be contacted after interviews regarding whether they will be included in our rank order submission.  At this point in the process, we will only contact applicants for informational and clarification purposes.

Applicants who match with our site must pass a background check and complete necessary paperwork for HR prior to starting internship.  Interns who match to our site but do not complete or pass this background check will not be allowed to continue in the internship program.

Because the APPIC Directory Online does not differentiate between the number of applications received in Phase I versus Phase II, we provide more specific summary information below:
