Individualized

• To meet your individual interests and needs.  The internship director will work with you to design a program that meets the requirements and standards of the program while at the same time providing a learning experience that will best meet your career goals. 

• 20-day Concentration and 5-day Independent Study to allow you to pursue an area of particular interest

• Many assignments and projects are also individualized. 

Flexible

• The program can be part-time or full time, with a minimum of 20 hours per week (weekdays), to allow you to meet work, or family obligations. 
• Hours and days are flexible and are usually worked out with your individual preceptors. 
• Geographic location is also flexible and we will try to accommodate your needs and limitations as much as possible. 

NOTE:  While the program is flexible and we do all we can to be accommodating, most rotations cannot be done on the weekends and if you have a job, your work hours have to be flexible enough to give you at least 20 hours during the week for your rotations.  This is are a commitment of your time and cannot be done "in your spare time."  If you have questions about your schedule, please contact the internship director before applying.

• Self-direction and flexibility are looked at carefully and carry a great deal of weight in our selection process. 
• You are responsible for arranging your own schedule with your preceptors and for reporting your hours to the internship director.  
• You are expected to be able to assess your learning interests and needs (in conjunction with the internship director) and to plan appropriate rotations.
