Students may choose different options for allocating the number of hours that are devoted to training in school and clinical-child settings, and should consult their faculty adviser and the Director of Field Training in order to develop an optimal training program. e following general guidelines apply: a. Each student's total distributed internship experience should consist of a broad range of professional service activities, including psychological assessment, counseling and psychotherapeutic intervention, consultation, and program-centered research and/or program development activities. b. Each student will complete at least 750 hours of this distributed intern- ship in a school setting (PSY 750; PSY 751), and at least 750 hours in a mental health facility that includes child and family focused programs (PSY 820, 821, and PSY 822). c. A student can choose to distribute the 250 hours that remain or any amount thereof, in either setting during his/her third or fourth year to ful- fill the 1750 required hours of the distributed internship. e student must notify the Director of Field Training of the intended allocation of hours to be devoted in training in school and clinical child settings. d. Within the distributed internship, experience in the school setting must precede experience in the clinical-child setting (mental health facility that includes child and family focused programs). e. Typically, students complete this requirement with a minimum of two days per week over twenty weeks per semester. Students are expected to arrange their schedules in accordance with the placement setting (not the academic calendar). Accordingly, seminars accompanying field place- ments (i.e., PSY 705; PSY 706; PSY 750; PSY 751; PSY 821; PSY 822) will typically meet beyond the end of the scheduled academic calendar. f. Acceptable internship experiences shall consist of continuous periods of not less than six months duration in each setting, and at least 16 hours per week in each setting. g. With the permission of the Director of Field Training and the Director of MSEd and PsyD Graduate Programs, a student may complete the dis-
