California Psychology Internship Council (CAPIC) Details
The California Psychology Internship Council (CAPIC) is a membership association of clinical psychology doctoral academic programs, doctoral internship training programs and postdoctoral training programs throughout the state of California. Created in 1991, CAPIC's founders recognized that by working together they could increase the quality of professional psychology training throughout the entire education trajectory, as well as better train psychologists to serve population needs. The mission of CAPIC is to promote excellence in professional psychology training and mental health services. We do this by: (a) Working collaboratively with all the stakeholders and professional psychology organizations in furthering the quality of professional psychology training; (b) Serving as a leader in centralizing internship training in California; (c) Promoting standards and innovation in professional psychology training to provide clinical services to the state's diverse communities; (d) Collaborating and advocating for access to training stipends for psychology interns and training resources for agencies; and (e) Developing ethical internship training environments that are sensitive to issues of diversity and culture.CAPIC training programs (internship and postdoc) provide a path to licensure as a psychologist in California. CAPIC internships and postdocs are recognized alongside APPIC-member and APA-accredited internships by the CA Board of Psychology (BoP) for the accrual of Supervised Professional Experience (SPE) hours which are required for licensure as a psychologist in California.
