RIC's Center for Health and Fitness and RIC's Sports Program provides interns with a unique opportunity to gain experience in a highly developed fitness center and in a progressive community based sports and recreation program. In addition, interns will have an opportunity to spend time with staff and therapists from the clinical departments at RIC. RIC has been named the top ranked rehab hospital for nine years in a row by U.S. News and World Report.
Interns from undergraduate and graduate programs are accepted from a variety of majors, including: therapeutic recreation, community recreation, exercise physiology, sports management, kinesiology, etc. The internship program requires a minimum ten week placement. The intern is expected to work 40 hours per week, including some nights and weekends.
Interns will be assigned a supervisor who best fits with their major and goals for the internship. All Therapeutic Recreation majors will be assigned to a Certified Therapeutic Recreation Specialist, so they will be eligible to sit for the NCTRC exam.
RIC will provide the intern with office space, clerical support and computer orientation as part of the internship placement. All travel related expenses directly attributed to assignments will be reimbursed. Allowance for parking will also be available for interns who drive and park in the RIC parking lot. Housing is available on the Northwestern Campus for a reasonable rate.
