There is an annual Practicum Information and Planning session, often held in conjunction with the GPH holiday luncheon. Announcements will arrive via email in early December. In brief, students take an active role in identifying a practicum project, site, and on-site supervisor. The Scope of Work (PDF) form is developed by the student in conjunction with (potential) on-site supervisors, faculty, colleagues, and Dr. Cushman, who must approve the scope of work. Snowden Wright can assist students in accessing the practicum-site database, which lists a variety of potential practicum sites for students to consider.
In order to make an appointment with Dr. Cushman to discuss potential practicum opportunities, it is recommended that students complete a Practicum Assistance form (PDF) and return it to Snowden Wright.
