What rules apply to supervision at my site, and can I be paid during practicum and internship?

September 3, 2024

All practicum and internship experiences require having a supervisor who is licensed and who has worked full time at least 3 years after licensure. If you are working in a mental health agency, it is possible to complete your internship hours right at your workplace (where you are being paid) if you are able to arrange with your employer to have a separate group of clients and a separate supervisor for your practicum and internship hours. There are a few community agency placement sites and private practice settings which offer minimum payment for interns.
