These first three core courses are offered in November, December, and January. They form a comprehensive base for students of all backgrounds and experience levels. Core courses must be completed before progressing to their other required course work.
Students will attend a weekend classroom intensive once per month, and participate in a student clinic one night per week.
If all requirements are met as scheduled, students will graduate in two years. Courses are offered on a rotational basis, and students are required to attend all courses before they graduate.
Intern Clinic
The intern clinic is held most Mondays and Wednesdays from 6-10pm (You will be assigned to one night, not two). New students will start observing in the clinic one night per week after completion of the Level one core courses. Treating status will be granted with permission of the clinical supervision once basic evaluation techniques are well understood.
Graduation with a Clinical Distinction requires at least 40 sessions as an observing intern and 25 sessions as a treating intern. Graduates may request up to an additional 6 months of clinical time after graduation with the permission of the clinical supervisor. If a student is not local and they would like to earn a Clinical designation, they must participate in weekly Student Clinic virtually, and write up and present at least 1 case presentation per month.
