Application
Hazelden Foundation Psychology Doctoral Internship Program is a member of the Association of Psychology Postdoctoral and Intern ship Centers (APPIC ). Over the years, APPIC has developed guidelines for procedures used in student-internship matching, and these guidelines continue to evolve over time, as APPIC remains responsive to the varied concerns around this issue. Effective July 9, 2009 APPIC launched APPIC Online, which is a paperless application process for doctoral internship programs. Please visit www.appic.org for further instructions and guidelines for completion of application.
