There can be opportunities for Mezzo and Macro work depending on student interest and desire to purse clinic-based projects. Clinic is daily Mon-Fri, practicum days of the week are flexible (Tuesday required), hours will need to be during clinic time 7-5, with some flexibility for early or late depending on days and projects.
