PDV 112 - Pet Assisted Therapy III: Internship: Experiencing the Joy 

Part A (ten hours, generally one hour a week): Part A is typically held at one of the approved training sites. Under the supervision of a highly qualified mentor, students provide PAT treatment with supervision and will additionally learn about PAT guidelines, referrals, goal setting and documentation.  

Part B (ten hours, generally one hour a week) requires the completion of Part A. Students work with the internship coordinator (instructor) to create their own PAT program in a facility which previously has not had one, based on their pet’s personality and interests. Teams then implement the PAT plan they just developed under the supervision of the internship coordinator.   Prerequisite: PDV 111 Pet Assisted Therapy II: Building the Bond: Hands-On/Paws-On Learning
