How many long-term therapy clients does an intern carry?
In addition to any rotational responsibilities that involve patients, each intern carries a long-term outpatient caseload of approximately five short and/or long-term patient hours per week. Interns are assigned a number of cases within the first week of the year. Of course, some patients will “graduate” or be terminated during the following months, so the intern will have a caseload that varies in length of therapy. As mentioned, this component of the internship is year-long and distinct from the three major rotations.
