NHTI offers excellent practicum opportunities to foster hands-on learning while receiving credit. NHTI students participating in internship, externship, practicum, service learning, and clinical experiences must demonstrate sufficient emotional stability to withstand the stresses, uncertainties, and changing circumstances of patient/client/child/family responsibilities. The student is expected to exercise sound judgment, accept direction and guidance from a supervisor or faculty member, and establish rapport and maintain interpersonal relationships and confidentiality with employees, customers, and/or patients/clients/children and their families. Our first priority is ensuring patients/clients/children/families are not placed in jeopardy during learning experiences.
