Internship Program Admissions

Briefly describe in narrative form important information to assist potential applicants in assessing their likely fit with your program. This description must be consistent with the program’s policies on intern selection and practicum and academic preparation requirements:
The Hawaii Psychology Internship Consortium (HI-PIC) represents the collaborative effort of three Hawaiian state agencies and the Western Interstate Commission for Higher Education, WICHE, to share resources and faculty for the purpose of providing a broad and general educational program for psychology interns. HI-PIC will base its selection process on the entire application package; however, applicants who have met the following qualifications prior to beginning internship will be considered preferred: Dissertation Proposal defended; some experience or special interest in working with diverse populations and/or rural underserved areas.
 Does the program require that applicants have received a minimum number of hours of the following at time of application?  If Yes, indicate how many:
Total Direct Contact Intervention Hours Yes Amount: 500
Total Direct Contact Assessment Hours Yes Amount: 50
Describe any other required minimum criteria used to screen applicants:
 Intern applicants must be from APA accredited graduate training programs. In addition to the preferences noted above, HI-PIC takes into consideration the potential commitment or interest of any prospective intern to remain in Hawai‘i following internship. Developing a strong behavioral health workforce is an important consideration for the state, and an interest in remaining in Hawai‘i to join the workforce will be considered a benefit in a potential intern. In addition to education and training requirements and preferences specified above, HI-PIC requires that matched interns meet additional site-level criteria to begin their training year. If a matched intern does not meet certain site-level criteria the match agreement will be terminated, and the intern will not be allowed to complete his or her internship within HI-PIC.

Additional Criteria: HI-PIC will base its selection process on the entire application package notedabove; however, applicants who have met the following qualifications prior to beginning internship will be considered preferred.

  1. A minimum of 500 intervention hours
  2. A minimum of 50 assessment hours
  3. Dissertation proposal defended
  4. Experience or special interest in working with diverse populations and/or in rural or underserved areas

Additional information about site level credentialing requirements can be found in Appendix A in the Internship Brochure.
