Candidates will use Canvas throughout their studies. This enables both candidates to evaluate the instructors, the program and themselves, and instructors to evaluate the candidates. These evaluations will be reviewed at the end of every semester by the Training Committee, which will keep students informed of their progress with an email confirming their passing of the course, and mentor them if problems come up.
Candidates will have yearly advisement with the training committee both to receive feedback as well as to have an opportunity to express any thoughts and feelings, requests and suggestions they may have.

CANDIDACY: In order to be admitted to Candidacy one must have attended 4 courses and had 50 hours of personal analysis. Also one must submit a personal statement regarding one’s desire to pursue psychoanalytic study, a CV/Resume, graduate school transcripts of highest level of training (exception are those training facilities out of the US where only diplomas are given.) and have an interview with 2 faculty members. Application must be made by email to the training committee, which will check the Canvas evaluations and obtain confirmation from the training analyst regarding the number of sessions completed. Applicants will receive an
email from the Training Director confirming their acceptance, or suggesting a meeting with the committee if problems are found.
FROM ADMITTANCE TO CONTROL ANALYSIS:  After candidates have successfully completed 20 course and 5 or more group supervisions, and 150 hours of individual supervision, they will apply to the Training Director to enter the control analysis and prepare the final case presentation and the final paper. After confirmation from the candidate’s supervisors of completion of hours, the training director will email an approval to the
candidate of acceptance in the final, control phase of the training.
CONTROL, FINAL CASE AND PAPER: Candidates will form their Review Committee, consisting of 2 faculty members, exclusive of their personal analyst, and 1 to 2 fellow candidates, and ex-officio, the Director and Training Director. This committee will read the final case and paper, offer suggestions if needed, and when satisfied with the quality of work will sign off on the candidate and forward that information to the Training Committee.
FINAL CASE PRESENTATION: Once the candidate has finished all courses and supervision hours, and has completed the required hours of personal analysis, they apply to the Training Committee to give their final case presentation and conclude their training. Upon review of all sign-offs and last Canvas evaluations, the committee will set a date with the candidate to present their case in front of their Review Committee and any guests the candidate may want present. After the presentation a Diploma will be awarded and the transcript will be sent to NAAP so the newly minted analyst can register as a Psychoanalyst.
