Highlights: The participants do not serve under the supervision of a person doing exactly the same job as the intern. Instead, the participants are placed in a position where they must bring their educational experience to a group setting and contribute their own unique expertise to the team. Dr. Capece provides direction and guidance, but participants have considerable freedom and responsibility to apply their own creative talents and energies to their assignments. While there is a degree of independence, there is still an expectation of high productivity. The result is an internship and visitors experience that helps the participants grow as both individuals and professionals as they witness how their talents and skills can contribute to a multi-disciplinary team. This program is not a standard traineeship, rather it is an opportunity for hard work and exploration of one's potential in a diverse atmosphere with others transitioning to their professional future.
