Many doctoral programs utilize the internship experience to provide students with opportunities to increase their skills and demonstrate competence based on CACREP standards. The purpose of this presentation is to explore the doctoral internship experience in CES programs. The presenters will describe the internship framework used in one CACREP-accredited doctoral program and facilitate discussion on how the doctoral internship is structured at other schools. In addition, the presenters will share results of a study that explored internship experiences of doctoral students.
