Our contracts/affiliation agreements are legal documents that originate in the office of our law firm and we are unable to provide them until an Intern is accepted to our Program.
Our syllabus is constantly under revision as are most syllabi in any kind of academic program. As such, and particularly due to the adjustments required by the pandemic, we do not provide our syllabi until an Intern has been enrolled in our Program.
My Preceptor wants to know what I will be expected to do at his site. What should I tell him ?
We have developed our curriculum in such a way as to allow the Intern to fully participate in the regular activities of the particular site that they are at. In short, the Intern should be doing what the preceptor is doing, albeit at a pre-entry level.
What will my schedule be like ?
You will be at your site full time Monday through Thursday and at your desk full time on Fridays for the 25 weeks (1000 hours) of the Internship. You should plan to work the same schedule that your Preceptor works on Monday through Thursday.
Will you be approving virtual rotations for the Class starting in January 2021?
Since we have no idea of what the status of the pandemic will be at that time, we are not prepared to approve completely virtual experiences for our class starting in January. For informational purposes, all of our sixty Interns who will be starting in September 2020, will be starting at their sites.
Should I have my Preceptor fill out the Preceptor form now ?
It is wise to have your preceptors complete the Preceptor Information form as this is our proof that they have agreed to precept you.
Since we consider your entire application and not just parts of it, we cannot advise prior to your application as to whether your current situation meets our requirements.
Since we consider your entire application and not just parts of it, we cannot advise prior to your application as to whether your graduate work or experience demonstrates that you have closed the gaps created by weak performance in your DPD Program.
Can you describe a typical day for an Intern ?
Since we have had close to 600 Interns who go to a variety of sites, we cannot describe a typical day. They are all different.
Could you provide me with a list of Preceptors in my area ?
We do not provide contact information for potential Preceptors unless you are already matched to our Program. Preceptors have not given us permission to give out their information. If we did that, Preceptors would be overwhelmed by applicants calling or emailing and this would create a real problem for them.
