Child Psychology Internship Application
The application and selection processes for child psychology internships at Children’s Minnesota is outlined below.
Application Process
The application deadline for the 2018-2019 internship training year is November 1, 2017 at 11:00 p.m. (CST). The following materials must be submitted through the APPIC AAPI Online by the application deadline for the candidate to be considered for interviews (to be conducted in mid-to-late December 2017):
- Curriculum vitae (through AAPI)
- Completed APPIC Uniform Internship Application (through the AAPI Online)
- Copy of official transcript(s) of graduate training (originals may be requested on confirmation of the match)
- Completed verification of internship eligibility and readiness form (with Part II of the AAPI)
- Three letters of recommendation
This internship program is accredited by the Commission on Accreditation of the American Psychological Association (750 First Street NE, Washington, DC 20002-4242; 202-336-5979) and is a member of APPIC.
We agree 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 prior to APPIC Match Day. We participate in the computer match through APPIC. See APPIC Match Policies.
All matches are contingent upon successful completion of employment physical, pre-employment drug screening, reference checks, compliance with the U.S. Government Eligibility Verification form (I-9) and background checks including Minnesota Statute 148.01 “Minnesota Sexual Exploitation Act.” This statute requires Children’s Minnesota to contact employers from at least the last five years to determine whether any sexual exploitation of clients has occurred. Applicants who do not successfully pass these background checks will be dismissed from the internship.
We welcome early submission through the AAPI Portal.

Selection Process
Teams of faculty will conduct a thorough review of application materials, with 24 applicants selected for formal interviews. Three days are set aside for in-person interviews. During the interviews, each applicant will meet with several staff members, as well as the current interns, regarding the training program.
We also encourage interviews by phone or video conferencing. In light of the increasing costs for airfare and travel, we strongly encourage you to consider these alternatives. We have interviewed a number of candidates by phone and have matched with these individuals. Interviewing by phone will not alter your chance for consideration as a good fit with our program.
All applicants will be notified by December 15 via email regarding interview status; however, because we interview early, we will notify you in mid-November to provide sufficient time for travel planning.
