BAPIC Practicum Site Guidelines
Participating doctoral programs set their own standards and requirements for practicum training. These programs share a common understanding and standards for how practicum is defined and meets training requirements set by the profession, by accrediting bodies, and by laws and regulations. This document puts forth that shared understanding. However, each program may have additional requirements that are integral to their education and training model. The purpose of this document is to inform, communicate and establish practicum standards that are consistent with the mission of BAPIC.

What is BAPIC?
The Bay Area Practicum Information Collaborative is a partnership between Bay Area Doctoral Psychology Programs and practicum agencies. BAPIC was organized in 2008 with the primary goal of centralizing practicum training information and streamlining the practicum application process for doctoral students and agencies. BAPIC is doing this by:
- Instituting an application timeline and uniform application and notification procedures.
- Developing and centralizing site description forms and other practicum training resources.
- Sharing up-to-date psychology training information with graduate programs and practicum sites.
Future plans for BAPIC:
- Develop training resources for practicum sites
- Develop stronger lines of communication between practicum training sites and doctoral programs
