Externship Application

Individual applications can not be saved on the application site prior to submission. For example if a student partially completes an application with the idea of returning to the site to complete it at a later time their application will not be saved. It would be advisable to complete the application as a word document then cut and paste responses into the appropriate sections of the application just prior to submitting. That would also solve the heartbreak of a dropped connection during the application process.

Applications AND references must be submitted online by October 1 for externships commencing between November 1 and April 30 of each year and April 1 for externships commencing between May 1 and October 31 of each year.

Without prior permission from the AABP Membership Committee chair, applications for externship funding for externships which do not fall within the dates for the current externship funding period will not be considered and will be deleted.

All fields are required, and must be filled in before submitting the application.
