Virtual Practicum Catalog

Students in NCRA-Accredited Formal Education Programs must complete a 160-hour practicum. Some practicum hours can be completed working virtually with an Independent Clinical Advisor (ICA). NCRA’s Formal Education Program Review Committee has added more virtual options to earn the needed hours. 

Students must be enrolled in the ICA Program to complete online hours. The majority of the hours will be through SEER*Educate. Learn more about the ICA Program and the download the Practicum Experience Matrix that defines the 160-hour requirements.
