Applications, deadlines, and notification
Application and acceptance procedures follow the Association of Psychology Internship Centres’ (APPIC) guidelines. Our internship setting participates in the APPIC Internship Matching Program and candidates must register for the Matching Program in order to be eligible to match to our site. Information about the Matching Program is available on the APPIC website at www.appic.org. In accordance with APPIC guidelines, applicants for the 2011-2012 training class are asked submit their applications through AAPI Online applicant portal (https://portal.appicas.org/).

In accordance with APPIC guidelines, applicants will be contacted by December 15 and informed as to whether they will be invited for an onsite interview.

Applicants unable to attend in person will be interviewed by telephone without prejudice.
The Psychology Internship Program at SickKids conforms to the guidelines of the Association of Psychology Postdoctoral and Internship Centres (APPIC). We participate in the computer matching process sponsored by APPIC. APPIC match policies can be accessed at www.appic.org. It is essential that all applicants to our program register for the matching process in order to be eligible. An application agreement package is available from the National Matching Services, Inc. and can be accessed on-line at APPIC Internship Matching Program. Our Program Code Number is 181811. Results of the match will be communicated to applicants and training directors on match day: Friday, February 25, 2010.
This internship site agrees to abide by the APPIC Policy that no person at this training facility will solicit, accept or use any ranking-related information from any intern applicant.
In accordance with federal privacy legislation (Personal Information Protection and Electronics Documents Act) we are committed to only collecting the information that is required to process the application. This information is secured within the Psychology Department at The Hospital for Sick Children and is shared only with those individuals involved in the evaluation of your internship application. If you are not matched with our program, your personal information is destroyed within four months of Match Day. If you are matched with our internship program, your application and CV will be available only to those involved in your supervision and training including your rotation supervisors, the Internship Coordinator, and relevant administrative support staff. In addition, access to interns’ files may be permitted to third parties for regulatory, accreditation, and auditing purposes (Quality Assurance - QA). Interns' and faculty members' participation in the Internship implicitly provides authorization for QA information to be made available to third parties (e.g., CPA/APA site visitors, representatives of the CPA or APA Committee on Accreditation, the provincial regulatory body for Psychology, the Joint Commission on the Accreditation of Healthcare Organizations, and to University and hospital administrators) on a need to know basis.
