Consortium Sites
During the APPIC Matching Process, applicants are allowed to apply to up to two primary placements within WCPIP. Interns work within their primary placement four days a week. The remaining one day a week is spent at the secondary agency that is chosen by the intern during their first week of internship
These primary placements are offered within three very different settings: A medical school, a university counseling center, and a community mental health center. Within each site there is additional variation to the intern experience, depending on training needs and interests.
