One of my goals for this channel was to provide crucial information that is often considered part of a “hidden curriculum” when it comes to our graduate journeys. In this APPIC Video Series, I have three doctoral candidates join me in imparting their wisdom and insights into the Association of Psychology Postdoctoral and Internship Centers (APPIC) application process. Stephanie, Dieu, and Adrianna join me as they’re preparing to begin their internship year having just successfully completed the APPIC process.
