Independence Health System offers experiential training supported by supervision,
didactics, and seminars. Interns spend 40 hours per week at their sites,
for a total of 2000 hours. Of those 2000 hours, at least 500 hours will
be direct service. In addition to direct service, interns attend supervision,
staff meetings, didactics/seminars, and have time to complete paperwork/documentation.
Each internship site provides information on the specific training experiences
they offer. Most of the training seminars and didactics are offered on
the same day of the week so all interns can attend and collaborate. This
collaborative training time also includes time for peer support between interns.
Each intern receives a salary of $30,000 and benefits.
Holiday time off: Independence Day, Labor Day, Thanksgiving (2 days), Winter
Break (December 24 – January 31), New Year’s Day, and Memorial Day
