MFT6991 - MFT Internship I

Semester Credits: 1 Weeks: 12

Upon completion of Practicum I and II, students are required to enroll in 3-one credit Internship courses (each 12 weeks in duration) to complete the remaining hours of the required 500 direct-client contact hours (with 250 of these being relational hours) with the final Internship course being the Capstone for the clinical training process. Students will register for these courses consecutively to cover a period of 36 weeks (nine months). Students will attend supervision sessions with the NCU Faculty Supervisor weekly. During the Internship experience, students are required to continue meeting weekly with a qualified local supervisor to complete direct supervision of clinical work. This supervision must involve direct observation or video recorded observation of the student’s sessions. In addition to completion of the required client contact hours and supervision, during the Internship experience (credits 2 and 3) students are also required to prepare for and take, during Internship II, the practice exam for the national licensing exam; and, in the internship capstone course, prepare and present their own theoretically grounded final case presentation to the MFT faculty. This course is graded Satisfactory/Unsatisfactory (S/U). (Student Learning Outcomes 1, 2, 3, 4)
