Idaho State University students from the University's College of Technology, Health Occupations Department, Massage Therapy Program work outside of the classroom in supervised interships as a work readiness requirement. The Program's curriculum includes a three -credit internship requirement scheduled during an eight-week summer session starting May 17th, 2010. Just as the University understands that Licensing is.important to protect the public from harm, the University diligently ensures that each student who is placed outside a classroom is in good standing in our program and poses no harm to the public. In each placement, a student is directly supervised under strict parameters with regular evaluations. Each placed student is in a final stage of study and has completed substantially more than 600 hours of study. Our programs Clinical Coordinator makes regular visitations to the site and collaborates with the site supervisor to guarantee a successful internship for each student. Requirement for Students include: • A completed criminal background check through ISU Public Safety Department • Complete immunizations required for all healthcare workers • Healthcare Providers CPR & First Aid • Wearing a-ISU Massage Therapy Student name badge at all times • If appropriate a ISU Massage Therapy Apron, unless a uniform is required by the business. • Coverage with the University's specified medical professional liability occurrence policy for $1,000,000. Each incident or occurrence. ISU Is An Equal Opportunity Employer Each student under this program is scheduled to be placed generally under direct supervision with one of the following: Physical Therapist Massage Therapist with a minimum of 3 years in practice Chiropractor. Internships are used in most healthcare professions, and this Program's philosophy is to send its students out prepared for "real world" challenges. Each placement is an opportunity to fine-tune the student's skills directly in a work setting that in many cases turns into employment. Supervising a student in this setting is a way to make sure that the student has the necessary skills to meet professional demands in the workforce. Please confirm whether this Program's practicum placement constitutes an exception to the referenced ordinance's prohibition or whether another option of amending the code 5.28.030 exemptions is possible.
