Students are expected to apply for, and to the extent possible, complete internship training programs that are either APA- or CPA-accredited. For students who attend accredited internships, the doctoral program is required to provide only the specific name of the internship. \nb.\tUnaccredited Internships. When a student attends an unaccredited internship, it is the responsibility of the doctoral program to provide evidence demonstrating quality and adequacy of the internship experience. This must include information on the following: \ni.\tthe nature and appropriateness of the training activities;\nii.\tfrequency and quality of supervision;\niii.\tcredentials of the supervisors;\niv.\thow the internship evaluates student performance;\nv.\thow interns demonstrate competency at the appropriate level; \nvi.\tdocumentation of the evaluation of its students in its student files.<br/><br/>"}
