Internships

In addition to gaining invaluable, direct care experience, interns will be provided with supervision, a wide variety of training opportunities and the possibility to advance within the company. Various opportunities exist in Reading, Lancaster, Lebanon, Harrisburg, Carlisle, Gettysburg and York. PCS also offers postdoctoral opportunities that meet the requirements for licensure in Pennsylvania. We will review applications in March and begin interviewing in April for internships that begin in the fall semester.

“One of the things that I love most about being an intern at PCS is the fact that you get to shadow the actual therapist in their day-to-day interactions… As I have the opportunity to sit back and watch the therapists do what it is that they do so well, I also have the opportunity to see the clients’ aha moments.”
