Practicum will emphasize preparation, crisis intervention, and response to potential emergencies and disasters. Students will spend eight (8) hours per week in the field at a designated site. Under advisement, students will have the opportunity to give service to the American Red Cross or to the county or New York State Emergency Management offices. All students will meet as a group with the practicum coordinator for discussion and group supervision. During practicum it is expected that students will make themselves available for emergency response in the event of a local disaster.
