Pre-doctoral Internship Application Procedures

OSU Counseling and Psychological Services adheres to all APPIC guidelines, and we participate in the Computer Matching for selecting our interns.

After the November 15th application deadline, our selection committee will review all completed applications. We will then contact all top-tier applicants to schedule a standardized telephone interview to be held in early to mid-January. We do not offer on-site interviews. Candidates who are no longer being considered for interviews will be notified by mail or e-mail no later than December 24.

Following the telephone interviews, we will rank order the remaining candidates and submit their names to National Matching Services. The Training Director will send letters confirming the Match results to matched applicants and their academic program directors, according to the APPIC Match Policies. If necessary, this site will also participate in Phase two of the match process. 

University regulations require that if you are matched with our site, the university will conduct a criminal background check at no cost to you.  While employment is contingent on successful completion of a background check, a criminal conviction is not an automatic bar to employment at Counseling and Psychological Services. 

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.
