Illinois School Psychology Internship Consortium

Welcome to ISPIC The Illinois School Psychology Internship Consortium (ISPIC) offers doctoral internships across the state of Illinois. Sixteen internship sites offer varying experiences and training opportunities in school districts, hospitals, residential treatment programs, and clinics in rural, suburban, and urban settings. ISPIC seeks to prepare interns to be dually credentialed as both licensed clinical psychologists and credentialed school psychologists. As such, our training curriculum considers both the American Psychological Association’s Profession-Wide Competencies and the National Association of School Psychologist’s Practice Model’s Domains. All internships include at least two days/week in schools, and some offer training in other psychological settings as well. Interns will have opportunities to engage in the broad range of clinical psychological and school psychological responsibilities. ISPIC’s internship program is one full year (12 months and 2000 hours). Internship cohorts typically consist of approximately 20 interns. Though located throughout the state, interns have regular contact with each other through the ISPIC training curriculum. ISPIC is accredited by the American Psychological Association (APA) and is a member of the Association of Psychology Postdoctoral and Internship Centers (APPIC). ISPIC’s program also complies with all requirements of the National Association of School Psychologists.
