Program Plan
All applicants applying to our program must submit a Program Plan as part of their application. This document helps us better understand your internship goals and supervised practice interests. Within the Program Plan, applicants will provide information regarding:
- Preferred internship start date
- Full-time or part-time track preference
- MS/DI or DI-Only pathway selection
- Interest in Prior Assessed Learning (PAL), if applicable
- Rotation interests
Applicants are encouraged to identify sites and preceptors that align with their professional interests; however, confirmed rotation placements are not required at the time of application.
Tip: Applicants should submit the Program Plan that corresponds to the application cycle in which they are applying. The completed Program Plan should be uploaded through DICAS as part of the application process. After the date of submission, any changes to your Program Plan can be emailed to bwsdi@bewellsolutions.com.
Rotation Schedule Assistance
BWS DI is committed to supporting our interns in securing supervised practice rotations. A completed rotation schedule is not required to apply; however, we strongly encourage applicants to begin exploring potential sites and preceptors prior to acceptance. Doing so provides an opportunity to build professional connections, learn about potential practice settings, and identify experiences that align with their professional goals and interests.
If accepted, our team will work closely with you to finalize any remaining rotation placements. BWS DI interns may choose to identify their own rotation sites and preceptors that meet program requirements and are approved by BWS DI faculty, or they may work collaboratively with the BWS DI Outreach Coordinator to secure placements. Interns who choose to utilize outreach support will be placed at sites that meet program requirements and competency expectations. While placement at a specific site cannot be guaranteed, the Outreach Coordinator will consider each intern’s location, schedule needs, and areas of interest when securing rotation placements.
To ensure access to quality supervised practice opportunities, interns should be prepared to commute up to approximately 60 minutes each way for rotation experiences. BWS DI strives to secure placements within this guideline whenever possible, though flexibility may be necessary depending on location, specialty interests, and site availability.
Applicants are also encouraged to download the Preceptor Toolkit on our Application Resources page and review our Tips for Securing Rotations.
