While in the program students complete three
level 1 fieldwork experiences in the areas of
mental illness, adult
physical disabilities and pediatrics.
Fieldwork I placements may be in a variety of clinics,
hospitals and community based settings.
Additionally, upon completion of the academic portion of
the program, students complete two twelve week Fieldwork II
experiences, one during the summer and one in fall.
Students must complete Level II fieldwork within 24 months
of the completion of the didactic portion of the curriculum in
order to graduate.
Students work closely with the Academic Fieldwork
Coordinator to select the best placement settings for these
experiences. The
program strives to find FW placements that will fit the
student's learning style, provide a solid foundation for entry
level therapy, and are sensitive the interests of the individual
students.
Please be aware that a felony charge may affect your ability to obtain fieldwork placements and/or sit for the board examination.
