Dear MSP Community,

I’m beyond excited to share amazing news about our students and the PsyD program: 100% of MSP doctoral students progressing to internship next year have matchedto internship sites through the Association of Psychology Postdoctoral and Internship Centers (APPIC)听national matching program —听in the first round!听Twelve of 14 students (86%) matched to APA accredited sites while two others matched to a site currently undergoing the APA accreditation process. This is听truly听remarkable.

For those of you who may be unfamiliar with APPIC, the APPIC match is nationally recognized as听the听internship听placement process for doctoral students. The country’s most elite and intensive internship training programs participate in the match; the process is highly competitive.

Next year听every听桃色视频 intern will have the priceless opportunity to complete their clinical training听at top-notch internships of choice and in their specific areas of clinical interest.听What makes this achievement even more phenomenal is that the听APA Commission on Accreditation’s acceptable threshold for academic programs to place students in APA accredited internship sites is 50%. At 86% we blew by the standard, even with a national shortage of internship sites!

In other words, MSP students听nailed it.

We have made steady progress in increasing our match rate numbers, with听100% placement in the APPIC match over the past two years.听This amazing achievement speaks directly to the extraordinary abilities of our students, the quality of our clinical training program, and the commitment of DCT Heidi Martin, Dean Shannon听Ch谩vez-Korell, and the PsyD faculty for their outstanding teaching and mentoring of students through this rigorous process. A shout out to other faculty members who wrote letters of recommendation and provided support behind the scenes, and to our staff who play a huge role in the quality and success of our programs.

Please join me in congratulating the following students who achieved this milestone and are poised to become exceptional practitioners at the completion of their programs. Your MSP colleagues could not be more proud.
