1. At approximately six weeks into a new semester, Dr. Amanda DePippo sends out a "Field Placement Announcement" to all students interested in Practicum I, II, or Internship for the following semester (or in the case of Spring, for the following semester(s) since she asks for interest for both Summer and Fall). In the Announcement, she specifies a date by which the student must submit the Field Placement Application and Field Placement E-Form. These documents MUST be submitted in order to be eligible to register for the class for that following semester.
2. If the student already has a site confirmed, they should submit the Field Placement Application and proof of professional liability insurance. Insurance can be obtained through Health Care Providers Service at . The next step is to submit an on-line Field Placement E-Form to Dr. Amanda DePippo.
3. If the student does not have a site, he/she should review our Intern Placement Tracking Database (IPT) for a list of our approved sites. The organization ID is: usfrmhc. If you do not yet have a username and password, you will receive that in your Foundations course during your first semester in the program. If he/she needs assistance in obtaining a site, contact Dr. DePippo at 813-974-1265 or send an email. The student should speak with the placement site and arrange an interview toward the goal of working at that site the next semester for the appropriate number of hours. If the site is not listed as a pre-approved site placement, site approval must be given by Dr. Amanda DePippo and a Handbook for Field Supervisors and Agencies must be distributed. Once a site is secured, follow the same process stated in #2.
4. When approval has been granted by Dr. DePippo, a permit to register for a Practicum or Internship class will be issued. Be aware that permits are: a) issued on a first-come, first-serve basis; and b) class specific, i.e., once you're permitted for a specific class, there is a very good chance that you will not be able to transfer into another one. Once a permit has been issued, a student may register for the associated practicum or internship class.
5. A separate application and proof of insurance must be filled out for each Practicum I, Practicum II, and Internship.
6. Please note: You may view the . Also, some general tips are offered on the Field Placement E-Form.
