Students would not have to apply to these settings but would be assigned by mutual agreement. Students will be expected to carry up to 5 patient hours per week and have supervision. Students, with the advice and consent of the clinical faculty, may elect to do an outside placement instead if it fulfills some special need. The course will incorporate both didactic materials and supervision. These placements will involve two full days of clinical training.
Some students opt for additional clinical experiences after the third year.
Most students conclude their clinical training with an APA approved internship during their fifth year. BU graduates have been accepted at internships across the country and students are encouraged to look for internships that best meet their interests and training needs, regardless of location. Affiliated with the BU clinical program are a variety of exciting clinical and research settings. English is accepted as the second language only when the first language is non-English. Examinations are scheduled every semester.
