“The administrator-in-training (AIT) program at Saint Joseph’s College is an opportunity to fully immerse oneself in the management of a Long-Term Care Facility. The program is scripted with required rotations through the various departments in a facility. It also recommends training at other facilities to become familiar with other levels of care in which long term care facilities interface. The six-month training is very comprehensive and was exciting to plan. The Coronavirus pandemic completely altered the plan from within the facility and with the ability to go to other facilities. The AIT training was even more exciting during the Coronavirus pandemic, which was a state, national and worldwide pandemic. So much planning, testing and preparation required frequent adjustments and changes in every department. This training allowed the trainee multiple new opportunities to work with state agencies on emergency preparedness, national organizations on policy and procedures as well as a system level with planning. The experience of working in Long-Term Care in an unprecedented time was amazing and continues beyond the internship!”
