Lake Michigan Internship Consortium 2011-2012 Members
Applicants interested in any of the LMIC sites will complete the APPIC electronic application and submit it to the Lake Michigan Internship Consortium. Applicants do not submit APPIs to individual sites. Applicants will indicate in their cover letter which sites they are interested in being considered for. Applicants can write a cover letter specific to each site they are applying to. The individual site supervisors will choose students to interview and will ultimately choose the interns that will work at their site. Applicants to Streamwood Behavioral Health Systems should include a psychological evaluation in the supplemental section of their APPI. Any questions regarding applications should be directed to Dr. Chiles at jchiles@argosy.edu.
