the Annual Carol Williams-Nickelson, PsyD, Award for Leadership and Scholarship
in Women's Issues. She was also executive director for the American Medical Student
Association (AMSA) and the AMSA Foundation, where she developed progressive
future physician leaders; created programming that filled gaps in medical education;
and led many initiatives advocating for quality, affordable health care for all. In 2012 she
received AMSA's prestigious Women Leaders in Medicine Award. She went on to serve
as the executive director for an international testing and certification organization and

facilities, residential treatment centers, community-based organizations, private practices,
and counseling centers. Her background includes chairing and serving on numerous
nonprofit boards of directors and volunteering for many charities that promote
social change. Her many publications, keynotes, and presentations at various medical
and health care conferences relate to topics that encompass her research and expertise
in the areas of mentoring, leadership, women's issues, the application of psychology in
nonclinical settings, the education and training of psychologists and physicians, and
behavioral health. She has been a presenter at the APAGS Workshop on the Internship
Application Process since its inception in 2000.

and his internship and postdoctoral fellowship at the Brown University School of

interpersonal models of internalizing symptoms and health risk behaviors. He has been
strongly committed to professional service and professional development for many
years. Dr. Prinstein was first invited to speak about the internship application process
in 1995; he served as chair of APAGS and as a representative to the Association of
Psychology Postdoctoral and Internship Centers in 1997. He also served as the chair
of the American Psychological Association (APA) ad hoc Committee on Early Career
Psychologists and on several committees and boards within and outside the APA.
He has been president of the Society for the Science of Clinical Psychology and the

Dr. Prinstein's professional development volumes include The Portable Mentor: Expert

implement the computer-based internship matching program. He currently serves as
the APPIC Match coordinator, oversees the APPIC Post-Match Vacancy Service, and
responds to concerns submitted by students and others via the APPIC Informal Problem
Consultation process. He was involved in the development of the APPIC Directory
Online and the AAPI Online service, and over many years worked to bring the internship
supply and demand imbalance to the attention of the profession. He is a Fellow of
APA Division 17, and in 2012 received the APA Award for Distinguished Contributions
to Education and Training in Psychology. Along with his coauthors of this workbook,
he has been a presenter at the annual APAGS Workshop on the Internship Application
