Training opportunities at Melmark provide undergraduates and graduate
students with a chance to gain valuable experience in clinical settings
tailored to an area of interest. Internships, pratica, and student teaching
assignments not only help students meet degree requirements, but also
provide contacts and experience that can be invaluable when seeking employment
or career advancement.
If you are looking to do an observation of fewer than 40 hours in our school program, please contact Lori DiNardo at 610-325-2939 or email LoriDiNardo@melmark.org.
