ABSTRACT
The first section of this book (Chapters 1 through 3) focused on orienting interns and supervisors to the internship year, and the second section of the book (Chapters 4 through 8) covered the critical relationships that are developed during the internship. The third and final section of this book focuses on closing out the internship year and helping the intern transition into a successful first year of professional practice. Thinking about life beyond the internship is a topic that likely produces mixed emotions for interns. Feelings of accomplishment may be paired with disappointment regarding how quickly the year is ending and how much remains to be done. Anxiety about what next year will hold is hopefully accompanied by feelings of anticipation and excitement for new challenges to come.
