• Visiting selected campus offices to become familiar with their mission and opportunities for consultation and collaboration.
• Learning about external rotation sites for customizing training experiences in summer semester.
• Multiple training sessions related to clinical services, diversity, supervision, outreach and consultation services, and office operations.
• An off-campus retreat for interns to learn more about the cultural history of Tampa Bay and develop strong cohort relationships.
• Supervised experience with initial appointments and on-call appointments.
• A self-guided review of the center's procedural guidelines and internship training manual.
