Doctoral Psychology Internship Application

Prospective interns must have completed their required coursework, supervised practicum and be in good standing with their psychology training program/institution. Additionally, prospective interns must have:

• 50 hours of assessment experience
• 400 hours of practicum experience in settings appropriate for a doctoral level psychology intern

Interns from both PhD and PsyD programs are encouraged to apply. GMF provides equal educational opportunities to persons of any age, ethnic background, gender, religion and sexual orientation.

The GMF Doctoral Psychology Internship Program selection process begins with an evaluation of the candidate’s application packet by the training co-directors. Through this process, the training co-directors rate each application based upon criteria including:

• Information contained in the application packet
• Hours and type of assessment experience
• Hours and type of direct patient service/intervention experience
• Experience with diverse populations

 Applicants eliminated from consideration during the initial evaluation will be notified in accordance with APPIC policies.  

Candidates who pass the initial evaluation will be invited to a virtual interview with the training co-directors and program supervisors. The interview day will consist of 3-4 interviews with the training co-directors and program supervisors, a Q&A with current learners and a presentation by administrative staff regarding benefits and stipend information.  

An additional rating is assigned to each candidate based upon their interview. In accordance with APPIC guidelines, each prospective intern will be assigned a “rank,” reflective of the average ratings from the initial evaluation and the interview.  

Once an intern is matched to GMF, they will be notified by the AAPIC matching service. Within 72 hours thereafter, the intern will receive an official follow-up letter from GMF.
