Application Procedures:
The University of San Francisco-CAPS has applied for membership with APPIC and accepting applications for next year’s internships through the APPIC match. Since USF-CAPS is currently classified as a non-APPIC member internship program, we are listed under the “List of Participating Programs” on the National Matching Services website, but not in the APPIC Directory. There is no guarantee that the application will ultimately be successful in attaining APPIC membership.
Pre-doctoral internship applicants are required to use APPIC’s AAPI On-line service which allows applicants to complete a standardized internship application and submit their application electronically. Applicants must register for the APPIC Match using the online registration system on the Match website.
