Re: Effect of Chubbuck Ordinance 5.28.030 on Student Practicum Requirements
Dear Mayor England,
My office has been directed to city ordinances that do not address student placements for
internships in Massage Therapy. 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. The City of Ammon ordinance did amend their exemptions
in response to the same circumstances. Ammon's code was modified as follows:
Ammon City Code for Massage Therapy 4-12-14:
INTERNSHIPS: Students of massage therapy that are under the training of a State of
Idaho operated technical school, college or university, shall be allowed to practice a
maximum internship of eight (8) weeks of study within a licensed massage therapy
business under the following conditions:
(A) Uniforms issued by school representing a student in training approved by the
State School where the intern is attending.
(B) A school issued badge indicating an internship shall be worn at all times while
training in the business.
(C) All approved interns shall be under the direct supervision of a licensed certified
therapist at all times while providing massage therapy.
(D) Any student of therapy that is requesting to be approved for internship in a
massage business in the City of Ammon must first have their background information
approved through the City Clerk with information provided by the State School.
n
(E) All students of therapy to be interning within the City of Ammon shall first be
included on a list provided to the City Clerk by the State School. The list shall contain

ten (10) days in
advance of the first day of internship.
