Notice - Due to unforeseen circumstances this program has withdrawn from the APPCN Match and will no longer be accepting applications for recruitment for the 2023-2024 Academic cycle.
Applicants must have completed all requirements of an APA/CPA-approved doctoral program in Clinical or Counseling psychology and a one-year APA accredited clinical internship. Applications will also be accepted from individuals who have completed all requirements of a university based APA-approved program of postdoctoral education for retraining in clinical or counseling psychology. The program must conform to the guidelines established by the APA Council of Representatives. Applications may be considered from graduates from outside the United States or Canada, on a case-by-case basis. We cannot accept candidates from School Psychology programs as we cannot provide appropriate degree congruent supervision or experiences to make that student eligible for licensure.
The program is a full-time 24 month program. All requirements for the Doctoral degree must be completed before the two year Residency can start. Residents may under some circumstances be allowed to participate in Residency activities prior to defending their dissertation, but any participation prior to completing all degree requirements cannot be counted toward meeting Residency requirements and will necessitate extending the Residency time to fulfill the 24 month requirement. The start date of the Residency in Neuropsychology is the last working day of August of the given year. Verification of completion of all degree requirements is required by your degree granting institution’s Director of Training and/or Departmental Chair or Registrar's Office (transcripts).
