As an extraordinary applicant, how do I go about upgrading my credentials, i.e., move from Psychological Associate to Psychologist?
If you finish your doctoral degree while completing registration requirements under extraordinary accommodations, your internship will be reviewed using extraordinary period criteria. If you finish your doctoral degree after you have completed registration requirements under the extraordinary accommodations, your internship will be reviewed using regular registration criteria. The intention of the extraordinary registration period is to accommodate people already practicing and who would typically be ineligible for a standard APPIC internship. Certainly it is desirable to complete an APPIC approved internship for a variety of credentialing opportunities, as it represents a clear, recognized standard for internship training.
