Application Materials
All materials must be available for review online by November 1, 2022 at 11:59pm EST. Complete the Uniform Internship Application, APPI, found on the APPIC website.
Please Note: Effective August 2008, the University of Oregon requires a background check that verifies that candidates have no criminal or other record that would preclude employment. These background checks will be conducted following the APPIC Match, and offers will be contingent on successful completion of the background check. A full explanation of this policy is available at the UO Policy Library.
Interested applicants should submit:
- A completed Uniform Internship Application (which can be accessed on the APPIC website)
- Current vita
- Cover letter specifying why you are interested in our internship program, including what rotations you are most interested in and how that fits into your training goals
- Official graduate transcripts
- Three current letters of reference, including two letters from clinical supervisors; one should be a recent supervisor. It is required that reference writers use the APPIC Form for Letters of Recommendation that is available on the AAPI website. We will no longer be accepting traditional letters in order to be consistent with other training sites and keep our selection process as fair as possible.
NOTE: Incomplete files cannot be reviewed. Late materials cannot be accepted. Please address your completed application to:
