Clinical Practicum Experience
All interns must complete a continuous 12-month calendar year at one practicum site prior to graduation. Interns will be expected to spend 16-20 hours per week working at the approved program practicum site. Scheduling of specific times will be negotiated by the intern and the on-site supervisor. The practicum schedule must not conflict with class schedule.

Clinical practicum sites are located primarily in Philadelphia, Delaware, and New Jersey. Settings include schools, forensic family therapy treatment programs, juvenile justice treatment systems, community health centers, family court, mental health agencies, outpatient psychiatry, and substance abuse facilities.

For additional information, students should contact the Couple and Family Therapy Program.
