Student Clinicians

Formal Practicum Experiences

Formal Practicum Experiences are available for students attending Meadowood's partnering universities.  In these partnerships the university program provides a supervising SLP. Meadowood currently has a partnership in place with Portland State University. If your university is interesting in partnering with Meadowood, please have the Clinical Director reach out to our Camp Director at info@meadowoodsprings.org ​. ​

Informal Practicum ​Experiences

Informal Practicum Experiences are available for undergraduate and graduate students who do not attend a partnering university. In the informal practicum experience you are trained and supervised by a licensed SLP. However the supervising SLP DOES NOT complete any paperwork specific to your university. The supervising SLP will provide a signed form indicating the hours you completed during camp. They complete a short summary of the progress you made during the internship experience and an explanation of the clinical skills you gained during your time at camp. They WILL NOT complete any evaluation or progress monitoring paperwork from your university. ​

The clinical experience is similar regardless of if you are in a formal or informal practicum. There are some minor differences due to  specific universities' expectations of their students. We use a push-in therapy model so there are lots of opportunities to provide therapy. Student clinicians are supervised 30 - 40% of the time they are providing therapy. 

Questions about internship/practicum experiences should be addressed to the camp director at info@meadowoodsprings.org. ​
