Clinical Internship

Catalog description

This course is designed to aid meeting standards for Pennsylvania mental health counselor licensure, specifically the LPC (Licensed Professional Counselor). The standards include completing six hundred (600) hours of internship time after completion of 100 clock hours of practica experiences. PSYC 895B represents the 600 hours of supervised experience following the practica. The internship experience builds on the initial practica experience, and is typically completed over two or three semesters, and thus may represent experience gained at more than one placement to increase the breadth of the student's training. Supervising faculty will be licensed or license eligible in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. The on-site supervisors must meet the criteria for clinical supervision mandated by the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. Professional liability insurance is required.
