How to use Doodle.

Start here

1. Start a search with realistic inputs for your program, location, supervision needs, settings, and populations.
2. Review the scored demo leads and read the evidence notes for each lead.
3. Save a lead that looks worth independent verification.
4. Open the tracker and move the lead as your outreach changes.
5. Use templates and the resume helper to prepare the next step.
6. Verify every site, contact, deadline, supervision detail, eligibility rule, and school requirement independently.

Before you begin

• Use Doodle only for general practicum-search organization.
• Do not enter Social Security numbers, passwords, verification codes, medical records, protected health information, therapy notes, client or patient information, confidential school documents, payment details, bank information, government IDs, emergency information, or other highly sensitive information.
• Watch for red flags such as requests for money, checks, gift cards, crypto, reshipping, bank information, payment-card details, Social Security numbers, government IDs, passwords, verification codes, unofficial channels, or urgent pressure.
• Doodle is not for emergencies, crisis support, therapy, clinical decisions, licensure decisions, school approval decisions, employment decisions, eligibility decisions, legal decisions, or financial decisions.
• Doodle is not permanent storage or a backup. Keep your own records outside Doodle.
• If someone may be in immediate danger, call 911 or 988 in the United States.

Verify before relying

A candidate lead appearing in Doodle does not mean it is accepting students, approved by your school, approved by a licensing board, or suitable for your practicum.

• Verify with your school, academic program, practicum office, field placement office, internship coordinator, program handbook, syllabus, or student handbook.
• Verify directly with the agency, employer, supervisor, site, or organization.
• Verify state, licensure, certification, supervision, insurance, background-check, and training-hour requirements with the appropriate official source.
• Get written confirmation from your school or program if preapproval is required before outreach, interviews, or placement.
