Recreational Therapy Programs

Since 1956, students have benefited from clinical internships in the Recreational Therapy Program.

Graduate and undergraduate internships are offered in cooperation with affiliated colleges and universities located within North Carolina only.

We offer placements in the following three areas:

• Inpatient rehab
• Burn unit and oncology/bone marrow units.
• Psychiatry - To prepare yourself for an internship in psychiatry, we require you to take a mental health first aid class.

To be considered for an internship, applicants must meet the coursework requirements for certification and licensure before the anticipated internship start date.

Clinical supervision for students in the RT program is provided by an LRT/CTRS who meet the requirements for certification by NCTRC and for licensure by NCBRTL.
