Due Process
SB-PIC has a comprehensive Due Process procedure which outlines the processes for addressing concerns about intern performance, as well as interns' concerns about training. Due process ensures that decisions made by internship supervisors about interns are not arbitrary or biased, requires the internship site to identify specific evaluative procedures which are applied to all trainees, and have appropriate appeal procedures available to the intern to challenge the internship’s actions. The due process policy is included in the SB-PIC intern handbook, which can be downloaded below.
Evaluation and Feedback
Feedback is provided to interns during weekly supervision and through semi-annual formal written evaluations of intern performance. If significant concerns about an intern’s performance are identified, the intern will be formally notified in writing of the specific problem and steps for remediation will be reviewed. The status will be reviewed within three months time, or the next formal evaluation, whichever comes first. In the case of a Probation Notice, the problem’s status will be reviewed within the time frame set by the notice. Additionally, interns complete an evaluation of their internship site following each internship experience which are reviewed and discussed by the Consortium Coordinating and Training Committee to assist in program planning. The evaluation process is described in the SB-PIC intern handbook, which can be downloaded below.
Diversity and Non-Discrimination Policy
The SB-PIC seeks, welcomes, and values diversity and makes efforts to create an equitable, hospitable, appreciative, safe, and inclusive learning environment for its interns. Diversity among interns and supervisors enriches the educational experience, promotes personal growth, and strengthens communities and the workplace. Every effort is made by SDIP to create a climate in which all staff and interns feel respected, comfortable, and in which success is possible and obtainable. The diversity and non-discrimination policy are included in the SB-PIC intern handbook, which can be downloaded below.
