Thank you for your interest in the Doctoral Psychology Internship Program (DPIP) at Dallas Children’s Advocacy Center (DCAC). We are thrilled with the inquiries we have received about our internship positions for the 2025-2026 training year!
The DPIP at DCAC is a mighty (and small) training program. As of October 1, 2022, one of our current psychologists shifted to part-time work through the rest of the 2022-2023 training year before she began to pursue new opportunities. As a result of these personnel shifts and the ongoing hiring process, we did not recruit doctoral psychology interns for the 2024-2025 training year.
We have hired a second psychologist to join the DPIP at DCAC beginning in late November 2024. Because we will need to move from inactive to active status with APA and because the first opportunity we will have to do that will be in April, 2025, we will not be participating in Phase I of the Match to recruit for the 2025-2026 training year.
As we have more information regarding our participation in the later phases of the Match, we will post information on our website, on the APPIC Directory, and through the Late-Breaking Internship Program Updates via the MATCH-NEWS email list. The internship program brochure from the 2022-2023 training year is still available below if you are interested in learning about the program we have built. Please note that the accreditation status of the program described in the most recent version of the brochure has changed (see below)!
In the meantime, please do not hesitate to contact the Director of Clinical Training, Elena Doskey de Lobón, Ph.D., at edoskey@dcac.org.
