12/03/24
As of today, we have sent decision letters to all applicants who applied to our internship program. If you have not received an email from us, please check your spam filters before contacting our office. We have found that searching using keywords “liaison” or “outcomes” finds the email best. If you did not receive an email notifying you of your application status, please contact psychsom@uw.edu and our office will re-send the email notifying you of our decision.
If you were invited to our Virtual Open House day, please follow the instructions to RSVP by 12/16/24 to both the office and the Track Coordinator(s) so we may plan accordingly.
Thank you for all applicants who applied to our program. We wish everyone a Happy Holidays and the best in the Match.
Sincerely,
Ty

Dear Applicants,
Greetings from Seattle! Thank you for your interest in the University of Washington School of Medicine’s Psychology Internship Program. We are proud to celebrate over 62 years of training future leaders in psychology, and we are delighted that you are considering joining us.
Our commitment to equity, inclusion, and excellence is at the heart of everything we do. We strive to create an environment where all individuals feel welcomed, supported, and valued. As you explore our program, we hope our website provides you with the comprehensive information you need to make an informed decision. We regularly update our site to reflect the latest developments in our program, so we encourage you to bookmark this page and return throughout the application season for any updates.
In response to feedback from applicants and the findings of the recent APPIC study on internship recruitment, we have made the thoughtful decision to conduct our recruitment process entirely online this year. While we cherish the connection that comes with in-person visits, we recognize that virtual engagement allows us to be more accessible, equitable, and environmentally conscious. By minimizing travel, we reduce the carbon footprint, alleviate financial burdens on applicants, and protect the health and safety of our community, especially in light of ongoing concerns related to COVID-19 and other illnesses.
Our Virtual Open House event is scheduled for January 7, 2025. We look forward to welcoming you and providing an opportunity to connect with our program, faculty, and current interns. Invitations to the Open House will be sent by December 20, 2024, or sooner.
To ensure fairness and equity for all applicants, we will not be offering any in-person meetings or alternative recruitment events during this season. While we won’t be hosting visitors in person, we understand the desire to experience Seattle and the Pacific Northwest firsthand. If you are able to visit, we encourage you to explore the beauty of our region. For those who cannot make the trip, we hope our online resources, including videos and photos, will give you a glimpse into the vibrant life and natural wonders that make this area so special.
Thank you again for your interest in our program. We look forward to learning more about you and hope to have the opportunity to support you in the next step of your professional journey.
Warm regards,
Ty W. Lostutter, Ph.D.
Training Director, Associate Professor
UW/SOM Psychology Internship Program
