Internship Benefits

The stipend for the CAPS internship is $35,776. The University of Kansas operates on a biweekly payroll. Interns receive 24 paid vacation days plus sick leave. Interns are eligible to enroll in group health and dental and optional vision insurance; coverage for dependents also is available. Coverage is effective the first of the month following 30 days of employment. For incoming interns coverage will be effective September 1. To maintain continuous health insurance coverage, it is necessary to maintain coverage through a previous employer's plan until coverage begins with the University of Kansas. Other support includes the CAPS physical and technical facilities. Each intern is provided with a private individual office. Each office is provided with a laptop, two computer monitors, webcam, table microphone, and phone. Each office is furnished with a standing desk, table, chairs, lamps, bookcase, and file cabinet. Interns have access to the CAPS EHR, the CAPS shared drive (to store recordings and other confidential materials and to access all CAPS materials such as the Policies and Procedures Manual), and KU email. Copying and limited administrative support are also available. Campus facilities for recreation and academic pursuits are available to interns, as are some of the services offered by the campus health center.
