We provide formal, written feedback to each intern. At the end of each six-month semester, the Internship Director sends a narrative report to the intern s graduate school. Since evaluation should be a two-way process, we ask for intern feedback at the end of each semester, the end of the internship year, and six months after the internship. The information and suggestions interns provide have proved valuable in improving intern training. Interns are eligible for medical insurance and may elect one of several plans available.
Cost varies according to the coverage selected.
During the training year, interns receive 20 days of earned time off, which includes vacation, sick days, and holidays, or to attend outside professional conferences or to address dissertation-related activities. Because of the many applicants to Pine Rest, only those who have been pre-selected by committee are invited to schedule interviews. The program sends notification of selection or non-selection for an interview to each applicant shortly after the December 1 application deadline. We strongly encourage those who are invited to interview to schedule a personal interview or telephone interview. This helps us evaluate applicants more fully and allows applicants to evaluate whether or not this internship program meets their needs.
