GTTN Internship

Your first step is to apply for a GTTN internship. You will want to keep the UA course schedule in mind as you plan your rotations. Plan to do your internship M-Th and allow Friday for occasional GTTN and UA meetings / doing assignments. We recommend that you plan 20-30 hours a week for your rotations to allow enough time to complete assignments.  

UA Spring & Summer Schedule 2021

You need to enroll in summer courses NMH 566 and NMH 587. The semester is May 25-July 30, 2021 It is OK to start these courses even if you are still completing your DPD program. These are both done online, mostly asynchronous, with some synchronous events in May.

NOTE: consider spending some extra time (beyond 300 hours) in your clinical rotation to meet all of the GTTN & UA requirements. It is OK to shorten your elective rotation so you spend an extra 60-100 hours in clinical.
