Open House

Applicants still under consideration after December 3rd will be invited to our Open House / Interviews to be held on Wednesday, January 3, 2024. You will receive an e-mail with your invitation and Open House information. We coordinate our Open House date with other APA approved internships in this vicinity (e.g., Seattle VA and Western State Hospital).

If you are invited, we encourage you to join us for our Virtual Open House so that you can get the best possible information about our program and how it might fit your training needs. We offer individual appointments with faculty the afternoon of Virtual Open House. We do not require applicants to attend Open House or to participate in personal interviews in order to match with us. However, we would like the opportunity to meet with applicants under consideration, either by phone or Zoom, prior to submitting ranking lists. This will provide applicants with more information about the program in terms of their individual interests and needs and allow us to get to know applicants better to evaluate the “goodness of fit” with our program in terms of applicant training interests, background and goals. Just as applicants take all available information into account in ranking programs, all contacts with applicants (including individual meetings) during Open House or in other contexts provides information that we as a program may use in determining rankings of applicants. This Internship site agrees to abide by the APPIC policy that no person at this training facility will solicit, accept, or use any ranking-related information from any psychology resident applicant.
