Intern Development Program (IDP)

To derive the maximum benefits from IDP, you should begin documenting your training at the beginning of your first acceptable employment. Retroactive experience documentation is discouraged for several reasons:

• Previous supervisors often cannot verify your actual experience, resulting in a loss of training credit toward eventual registration.
• Retroactive record-keeping usually delays the examination application process, resulting in postponement of examination and registration.
• Several registration boards place limits on the amount of previous experience that can be retroactively documented.
