The internship crisis facing the field of professional psychology is complex and multidetermined. The aim of this commentary is to broaden the discussion initiated by , The internship supply as a common-pool resource: A pathway to managing the imbalance problem, , pp. 126–140.) in his article that likens the match crisis to a common-pool resource problem. The authors contend that there are critical issues that must be considered in order to solve the match crisis, namely, the recognized need for a full-scale workforce analysis, the need to increase funding resources, and the recognition of alternative models of internship training. An existing additional pool of vetted high quality internships may not have been fully considered by and others in the field. This commentary presents a regional model exemplified by the California Psychology Internship Council (CAPIC) as one regional solution to the limited supply of internships and provides some information about the potential advantages and quality control measures used to monitor this vital resource.Preview Only.
