3. in some states, a physical therapy student enrolled in an educational program in a college or university whose school has a contractual agreement for clinical education with a physical therapy program in a hospital or clinic. In other states, a physical therapist who has completed the required academic coursework but is supervised by a licensed, practicing physical therapist.

4. a graduate professional nurse who is enrolled in a nursing internship program. Nursing internships are transitional programs for new graduates; they last longer (usually three months to a year) and are more comprehensive than traditional hospital orientation programs for new staff nurses. The goals of nursing internship are to ease the transition from the student role to the staff nurse role, and to guide new nurses in developing basic and specialized nursing skills.

The nurse intern works under the direction of a preceptor who serves as a role model as well as a support person and guide in clinical practice. The internship includes working a designated number of hours in the clinical setting and attending classes and seminars. Benefits to the facility offering an internship program include easier recruitment and retention of nurses and increased effectiveness of nursing care.
