Leadership Training Project students

Students participating in the Leadership Training Project participate in three years of intensive practicum experiences. Each year, students spend 3 days per week in school and/or health-care sites. During the year that students are placed at Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia, students spend 2 days per week in the health-care site and 1 day per week in the schools. During the year students are placed in the Lehigh Valley health care sites (Lehigh Valley hospital or Sacred Heart Hospital), students are placed 2 days per week in the Allentown School District. The participating school sites in which students are placed have already established linkages with health-care sites. This combination allows students to attain competencies that will permit them to serve as liaisons in addressing the health-care, educational, and psychological needs of children.

Subspecialization students

Students participating in Subspecialization are required to spend 1.5 days per week within health-care sites during their two years of practicum prior to internship.
