Our updated curriculum that allows students to choose between the AIT program or a 3-credit part-time internship resulted in 15 interns at 14 different internship sites in 2024, generating 4,850 service hours. We are expecting a two-fold increase in next year in the number of students needing an internship placement.  \nStrategies implemented to improve the overall efficiency of the internship program will be presented, including the development of standard operating procedures, a database for tracking student progress, and online modules that provide students with an orientation to the internship program. Challenges we have experienced including the limited availability of internship sites and the extensive time and effort required to develop new community partnerships and to match students with gerontology-oriented internships aligned with their career goals will also be discussed.  \nWith the increasing trend of undergraduates seeking internshipsand field experiences, we will share our ongoing plans to continue addressing these challenges in the future.","cbCaisNhMH8VIyun","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaisNhMH8VIyun","pdf",1804682,"English","# Overview\n## Curriculum revision and enrollment strategy\n## Internship outcomes and service hours\n## Efficiency strategies and implementation tools\n## Challenges and future plans","[{\"question\":\"What internship opportunities does the revised program offer?\",\"answer\":\"The curriculum lets students choose either the Administrator in Training (AIT) internship or a 3-credit part-time internship option.\"},{\"question\":\"What were the 2024 internship outcomes?\",\"answer\":\"In 2024, the program supported 15 interns at 14 internship sites, generating 4,850 service hours.\"},{\"question\":\"How will the program improve internship efficiency going forward?\",\"answer\":\"It plans to implement standard operating procedures, a database to track student progress, and online modules for internship orientation.\"}]","GROWING PAINS: THE SEARCH FOR AGING STUDIES INTERNSHIPS FOR UNDERGRADUATE MAJORS | PDF",1790645281]
