The rotation at Counseling and Psychological Services is for a full 12 month period, beginning on the fourth Monday in August and ending on the third Friday in August Holidays follow the University of Michigan vacation schedule; sites may also close on some additional days each year. Interns, in addition, receive 2 weeks of paid vacation time each internship year.

Application Process

U-M Clinical Psychology students are welcome to visit Consortium sites, by appointment, at any time. An informational meeting is held by the Chair of the Consortium Committee in the early fall for all students eligible for internship. Eligibility is determined by the completion of all U-M practicum requirements, and a determination of readiness by both the Clinical Area Chair and the Consortium Committee. At the informational meeting, students are given a written description of the Consortium and its sites, and have the opportunity to inquire about all Match procedures. Students then begin the process of interviewing sites. Applications and ranking forms are due back from students just before the December Holiday Break. Students indicate their rotation preferences at the time of entry to the internship. The Match occurs on the first Monday after the December Holiday Break. The goal of the Match is to maximize the number of students placed into their highest ranked sites. Most students will typically be placed into their first choice; rarely will any student receive lower than their second ranked choice.
