The Training Committee is open to consider new rotations created by the intern. Our program places interns on our Boca Raton campus. Interns recieve supervision from a multitude of supervisors: primary, secondary, group, assessment, rotation, and outreach. They also meet with the Training director on a regular basis. Our inaugural internship class started in August, 2013 and we have created our program so that it is consistent with APA guidelines. We are currently APPIC members and plan to apply for APA accreditation in the future.
