The incoming psychology interns participate in the required CAMC resident orientation with all incoming medical residents during the last week of June; specific dates and details are provided following the match as part of the formal CAMC onboarding process. The internship training program itself runs from July 1 - June 30. Because there are additional required orientation and training meetings that happen during July, interns are asked not to take leave during July.

Our program participates in the AAPI online application process.
