DPT students engage in 4Â full-time internships, ranging from 5Â weeks to 10Â weeks in length for a total of 34Â weeks of full-time internships.
Full-time DPT clinical internships are meant to prepare all Rockhurst DPT graduates to practice across a range of settings with individuals across the lifespan. To adequately prepare students to practice across a variety of settings, students are required to complete an internship of 8Â weeks or longer in an inpatient adult setting and another internship of 8Â weeks or longer in an outpatient adult setting. Students also need to be prepared to complete one 10-week full-time internship outside the Kansas City metropolitan area.Â
