I thought of this reading the internship thread, but figured I might as well start a new thread. In terms of accumulating clinical hours for internship, I'm curious about the differences between schools. How many people do you test and see for therapy through your in-house clinic? When do people typically do externships?
At my school, we do assessments on 2 adults/2 children, and see 4 patients a week for therapy through our in-house clinic in years 2-3. We have the option to continue seeing patients in the clinic after 3rd year, but it isn't required. I think externships vary a lot between students, but it is rare for people to do them before 3rd year. People also get diff clinical hours from clinical research (like SCIDs).
So how is it different for you/people you know/your school?
