Recruitment to the University of Minnesota Medical School Psychology Internship is competitive, taking into consideration applicants unique backgrounds and talents. In reviewing applications, emphasis is placed on the concordance between applicants training interests and background and the training requirements and clinical responsibilities for each rotation. Selection of applicants from APA-accredited doctoral programs is based on applicants' records of academic achievement, clinical and other professional experiences, research accomplishments, relevant aptitudes, course work, and skills, and supporting letters of recommendation indicating applicants' preparation for a medical school-based internship. Applications comprise several components, including the APPIC Uniform application, a supplemental application, and other materials, as described later in this document. GRE (combined verbal and quantitative) scores >
1100 are preferred (if taken). Each rotation ranks candidates independently and then combined rankings are used to determine overall rank lists for the tracks (i.e., combinations of 2 rotations) in the computer match process. In general, only applicants who are invited for interviews are ranked in the match process.
The deadline for filing all application materials with the Internship is November 1. The Internship observes the guidelines regarding timing of Internship offers and acceptances adopted by the Association of Psychology Postdoctoral and Internship Centers (APPIC), the Council of University Directors of Clinical Programs, and National Matching Services, Inc (NMSI).
