Internship Information
Clinical Exercise Phyisology Program
 |
|
The faculty of the Graduate
Department of Clinical Exercise Physiology at Benedictine
University is committed to the idea that a professional education
should be an appropriate amalgamation of the theoretical and
the practical. Consequently, a significant component of the
program requires that the student gain experience in professional
settings. All students are required to complete two internship
courses, and each internship consists of 150 hours of practical
experience. |
It is the responsibility of the student to submit an internship
application to the internship placement director no later than the end
of the fourth week of the semester, which is one semester prior to the
semester of the desired internship placement. In order to be eligible
for placement in an internship site, the student must have met the
following requirements at the time of application: 1)attainment of a 3.00 cumulative GPA
and 2)completion of all first year coursework totaling 17 semester hours.
Site placements will be made by considering the learning needs of the intern, site ability to take a student at a given time, and geographic desirability. The intern must be aware that distance and traffic to some sites may be long and should plan travel time accordingly in order to avoid being tardy.
Students are expected to honor the site selection affiliation agreement, agreed upon hours, scheduled dates and times, and duties, even if they exceed the minimum number of hours allotted to that rotation. Rotation hours are work hours, and do not include the time for meals, breaks, writing time, and conferences with the Director of Internship Placement.
