Travel
Students are responsible for all travel to and from fieldwork education experiences. This includes long distance travel (e.g., to an out-of-state facility for a full-time fieldwork experience) and/or local travel (e.g., daily or weekly travel for a Level I (part-time) or Level II (full-time) experience. Many fieldwork education facilities are not accessible by public transportation. Students assigned to the same site for Fieldwork may have varied hours based on different unit or supervisor schedules. Every student should anticipate needing access to a car for some portion of the fieldwork education component of the curriculum.
Students who are assigned to the same site for a fieldwork experience with another IHP student are encouraged to share travel resources when possible. Arranging travel and negotiating ride sharing are student responsibilities.
Students are responsible for contacting the facility and/or using the Internet to seek information regarding directions and transportation to the facility. The MBTA has a Trip Planner tool for public transportation routes in greater Boston, www.mbta.com.
