A panel interview with the three agencies is completed and if accepted, a primary host is designated where the majority of your internship hours are completed. The alternative agencies provide opportunities to observe and shadow other program modalities of interest that would not otherwise be available. 

This internship is available for those receiving a degree in social work, marriage and family therapy, and counseling and psychological services.
