For their required practicum and internship activities, our students successfully secure training positions in a variety of mental health agencies in the Pensacola area. The range of opportunities allows each student to obtain experience with a broad range of clinical services, settings, and populations, while also pursuing their specialty interests.
In the practicum and internship setting, the student is directly supervised by a mental health professional on-site, as well as a faculty member who oversees the student's training experience. During the course of the practicum/internship experience, the student participates in clinical and administrative activities, as a member of the professional mental health staff. As a result of their successful completion of internship, our students are sometimes offered positions to join the agency in which they do their training, where they can obtain the two years of post-masters supervised experience required for licensure.
