cpsylist: Internship: Waiting

Fri Feb 16 06:13:35 PST 2018

Good morning, applicants and interested others!

What should you do with your nervous energy between now and Match Day?

1. Eat, pray, love; breathe, sleep, be here now.

2. Do as Dr Keilin describes below and download your AAPI for future accounting.

3. Update your CV and hours list. You'll need this for licensing boards and job applications. In addition, should you need to go to Phase 2 of Match, you'll have this piece ready.

2.  Downloading your AAPI Online Applications

----------

APPOINTMENT AGREEMENTS FROM INTERNSHIP TRAINING DIRECTORS

APPIC Match Policies require internship Training Directors to send appointment agreements to all matched applicants, with a copy to the applicants' Directors of Clinical Training, postmarked or e-mailed within seven days following receipt of the Match results.  These agreements must include confirmation of the conditions of the appointment, such as stipend, fringe benefits, and the dates on which the internship begins and ends.

This year's deadline for sending these agreements for Phase I of the Match is March 2nd; agreements sent via regular mail should arrive during the second week of March.  Applicants who do not receive an appointment agreement within this time frame should contact the internship Training Director.

----------

DOWNLOADING YOUR AAPI ONLINE APPLICATIONS

Applicants are strongly encouraged to download and keep a copy of the applications that they submitted via the AAPI Online service (if they haven't done so already).  APPIC is NOT able to retrieve applications from previous years.  Students have told us that an increasing number of postdoctoral programs, licensing boards, and other entities are requesting copies of the AAPI.  Once the portal closes on May 31, it will no longer be possible for you to access or download your applications.

Any applicant who has created an account may download a copy of her/his application by logging in to the AAPI Online Applicant Portal and clicking “VIEW BASIC AAPI (PDF)” located under the My Tools section.  This is a copy of the applicant’s core application, which does not include any uploads.  In order to download the applications that you submitted to individual sites, click on "Internship Program Designations" located at the bottom of the application checklist.  This will display a list of submitted applications where one may view or download (in .pdf format) the application that was submitted to each site.  Transcripts, letters of recommendation, and DCT’s verification of eligibility are excluded from each download.  Though the core AAPI application may be the most likely version for entities to later request, applicants are encouraged to download both the core AAPI and their individual applications given that none of these will be retrievable after the portal closes on May 31.

----------

VIEWING AND PRINTING YOUR RANK ORDER LIST

Applicants and programs can log into the NMS Match System to view and print the information they entered into the system for Phase I of the Match until 11:59pm on Monday, February 26 (three days after Phase I Match Day).

Programs that submitted additional information for the Match outside of the NMS Match System (e.g., multiple lists, reversions) can also view all the information they submitted by logging into the NMS Match System.

To log in to the NMS Match System, go to the Match web site (natmatch.com/psychint<http://natmatch.com/psychint>) and select the Log In button in the top-right corner of the screen.

----------

HOW DOES THE MATCH WORK?

Some of you may be curious about how the computerized matching process actually functions.  The APPIC Match uses the Roth-Peranson algorithm, designed by Dr. Alvin Roth and NMS president Elliott Peranson, that was key to Dr. Roth's winning the 2012 Nobel Prize for Economics.

Information about the matching process and algorithm, including a short video that provides an example of how the algorithm works, may be found at the NMS web site:

Roth-Peranson Algorithm:  natmatch.com/psychint/algorithm.html<http://natmatch.com/psychint/algorithm.html>
Matching Programs:  natmatch.com/matchingprogram.html<http://natmatch.com/matchingprogram.html>
Research and Publications:  natmatch.com/publications.html<http://natmatch.com/publications.html>

----------

INFORMATION ABOUT PHASE II OF THE APPIC MATCH

Information about Phase II of the Match is available on the APPIC web site:

appic.org/Match/APPIC-Match-Phase-II<http://appic.org/Match/APPIC-Match-Phase-II>

This page includes a "Getting Started" guide for applicants who will be participating in Phase II, detailed "Frequently Asked Questions" for applicants and internship Training Directors, and information about the web-based "late-breaking news" service that will be available for Phase II.

----------

ELIGIBILITY FOR PHASE II OF THE APPIC MATCH

APPLICANTS:  Any applicant who registered for the Match on or before February 7, 2018, and who did not obtain an internship position in Phase I, is eligible to participate in Phase II.  This includes applicants who (a) withdrew, (b) did not submit a Rank Order List in Phase I, or (c) did submit a Rank Order List but remained unmatched in Phase I.  Applicants who did not register for the Match by February 7, 2018 are not eligible to participate in Phase II.  An applicant who has accepted an internship position at a program that is not participating in the APPIC Match is NOT eligible to participate in Phase II or the Post-Match Vacancy Service (PMVS).

Applicants who withdrew from ONLY Phase I in the NMS Match System will automatically be reinstated (made active again) for Phase II.

Applicants who withdrew from both Phase I and Phase II in the NMS Match System are still eligible to participate in Phase II if they wish to do so.  In order to participate, these applicants must change their participation status to Active in the NMS Match System.  These applicants will continue to be shown as Withdrawn on information provided to programs until such time as they become Active in the online system.  Therefore, if you previously withdrew from both Phase I and Phase II but now wish to participate in Phase II, you must update your status as soon as possible after the NMS Match System reopens for Phase II on March 1.  Applicants can access the NMS Match System by going to the Match web site (natmatch.com/psychint<http://natmatch.com/psychint>) and selecting the Log In button in the top-right corner of the screen.

Information about eligibility for the APPIC Match and PMVS is at:

appic.org/Match/About-The-APPIC-Match/Match-Overview#MatchEligibility<http://appic.org/Match/About-The-APPIC-Match/Match-Overview#MatchEligibility>

PROGRAMS:  All positions that remained unfilled in Phase I of the Match must be offered to applicants in Phase II.  Very limited exceptions are outlined in APPIC Match Policy 9b.  Requests to remove unfilled positions from Phase II for reasons other than those explicitly covered in the Match Policy must be approved by APPIC.

Additional positions that become available after Phase I of the Match may also be offered in Phase II of the Match.  Training Directors who wish to add positions should consult the Phase II FAQs for Training Directors for instructions on notifying NMS and APPIC about the change.
