The doctoral programs eligible to send students into the Match and/or the Post-Match Vacancy Service (PMVS) are shown below. This list will be updated regularly.

• APPIC Doctoral Program Associates (DPAs) are identified in the list with their DPA number. Students from these programs may participate in the Match and/or the PMVS.

  To be a DPA, a program must:

  • Be accredited by an eligible accrediting organization as defined by APPIC's Policy on DPAs, or must have been granted an initial accreditation site visit by such an organization.
  • Be reviewed and approved to be a DPA by APPIC
  • Pay an annual fee to APPIC
• Students from programs in the list that are not identified as APPIC DPAs may participate only in the PMVS, not the Match.
• Students from programs that do not appear in the list are not eligible to participate in the Match or PMVS.

The accreditation status of each doctoral program has been provided to NMS by each program, and is not guaranteed to be accurate by NMS or APPIC. Current accreditation information can be obtained from the appropriate accrediting body:   APA   CPA   PCSAS

• What if a school or doctoral program does not appear in the list?

  Review the APPIC Policy on Doctoral Program Associates which outlines the eligibility criteria for doctoral programs. If a doctoral program does not appear in this list, but you believe the program should be eligible, please discuss the situation with your Director of Clinical Training (DCT).
