A Match Made in Toronto

Psy.D. students learn where home will be next year
Feb. 28 was the day 18 George Fox doctor of clinical psychology students discovered their future. They were among thousands of Psy.D. students nationwide assigned that day to one-year paid internship programs through the Match Program sponsored by the Association of Psychology Postdoctoral and Internship Centers. The internship year, along with a post-doctoral year, is required to become a licensed psychologist. During the fall, students visit, interview, and submit applications at organizations offering mental health care. By the end of the year, both internship programs and applicants submit ranked lists of their top choices to the Toronto-based organization. A matchmaking computer program does the rest. psyd.georgefox.edu
