APPIC MATCH NEWS

Following is Match registration information for internship programs and applicants:

INTERNSHIP PROGRAMS: Beginning this year, Match registration materials for internship programs are being sent to most sites by e-mail (as a PDF file attachment) rather than by regular mail. Match registration materials have now been e-mailed to Training Directors of all APPIC-member internship programs, as well as to non-APPIC member programs that are eligible to participate in the 2009 Match and either participated in the 2008 Match or have expressed an interest in participating in the 2009 Match.

If you are an internship Training Director and have not received your registration information via e-mail, please check your e-mail program's "spam" or "junk mail" folder to see if the e-mail was directed there. If the e-mail could not be delivered to you for any reason, a registration packet may have already been sent to you by regular mail. If you did not receive the information by e-mail, contact NMS directly at (416) 977-3431 to determine how the information was sent to you (i.e. by regular mail or e-mail, and to what e-mail address). You can request that NMS send you another set of registration materials, if necessary.

APPLICANTS: Match registration information and Agreement forms for applicants are now available for download directly from the Matching Program web site at:

(Click on "Applicant Registration" on the left side of the screen)

Please review the information available on the Matching Program web site, including the Schedule of Dates, APPIC Match Policies, and other information describing the operation of the Match. You may download and print the Applicant Agreement and registration instructions directly from the web site. To register for the Match, you must send one copy of the Applicant Agreement with the appropriate registration fee to NMS.

The recommended registration date for applicants is December 1, 2008. However, it is generally wise to register much earlier so that you receive your Applicant Code Number in time to include it on your APPIC Application for Psychology Internships (AAPI), as many sites have application deadlines in November (please note that if you don't receive your Applicant Code Number in time to include it on your AAPI, it's not a problem -- there will be plenty of opportunities later in the process to provide that number to internship sites). Please remember that the Match registration fee is NON-REFUNDABLE and is not transferable to future Matches.
