Hello UCDenver Internship and Practicum Students,
I hope this email finds you all doing very well. We are rounding the corner of the midpoint of the semester, so there are a few things I wanted to remind you all about with regard to internship.
A few things to remember:
–The internship Application for the Summer is due March 22nd (instead of April 15th) (per an email Marlinda sent out to everyone last week). Please submit the applications directly to Marlinda HInes.
–The internship Application for the Fall semester is due July 15th. Please submit the applications directly to Marlinda Hines.
–There are not any new site approvals done during the summer, so if you are wanting to see if a site can be approved for the Fall, then you need to submit the paperwork to me prior to April 19th. You can find the Internship Site
Questionnaire in the Internship Manual as well as on the Internship website(http://sehd.ucdenver.edu/cpce-internships/). Please deliver the form to the counseling clinic (I need a hard copy form). Generally, site approval takes 3-4
weeks, due to the number of sites I currently have to approve, so please don’t wait until the last minute.
–For those of you who have a good idea of where you will be completing your internship for the summer and/or the Fall, please provide that information to me, as I need to approve the placements (even though they are approved
sites) in the event that there have been any changes at the site. For example, some sites have recently determined they are unable to allow audio/videotaping or have lost their approved supervisor etc… I need to make sure that
the site still meets requirements.
–The faculty is approving Private Practice placements on a case-by-case basis, so if you are wanting to add a private practice to your internship experience, then you need to submit a request to me and I will work with the faculty to determine if it is an appropriate placement.
For those of you at Private Practice site, who are already working at your internship sites and continuing from this semester to next, then you do not need to obtain additional approval.
–For those of you who are wanting to be at your internship site between semesters and accrue hours, then you MUST arrange to obtain supplemental supervision from a licensed full-time UCD faculty or Staff member. The supplemental supervision contract can be found in the Internship Manual, as well as on the Internship Website(http://sehd.ucdenver.edu/cpce-internships/). Please DO NOT wait until the last minute to do this, as once summer hits people may be unavailable or on vacation. Those who do not obtain supplemental supervision between semesters will not be able to count ANY of their hours accrued during that time, so please be pro-active about this.
Ok, I hope this helps. Again, if you have any questions you can contact me, I just wanted to remind you of a few important points as we near the end of the semester.
Be well,
Dr.Gentile
