COU 691 - Internship 1

3 credits
The internship extends the clinical field experiences of the practicum to greater levels of independence in delivering behavioral health services. A wide variety of field placement sites are available under the direction of licensed supervisors. Students learn to apply knowledge from previous coursework to real-world clinical situations and face-to-face client interaction. This includes 300 hours of supervised internship experience with at least 120 hours of direct client contact. Students also receive 1 hour of individual or triadic supervision with the site supervisor and 2 hours of group supervision by a faculty member each week.
