BCBA internship opportunities focus on providing additional training and support for students enrolled in mental health or psychology courses. In this internship, you may work through a scheduled educational program, help evaluate patients, and learn more about adaptability and regulatory compliance when dealing with complex behaviors in patients. BCBA interns cannot provide direct care to patients, but you may take notes, help answer questions, perform research, or engage in other permitted activities at the discretion of your employer. Many BCBA internships occur during the summer, but you may be able to find openings throughout the rest of the year. These internships are most common in urban and suburban areas.
