Looking to hear from programs who have internships at more than one host site.

We have our classroom at a hospital called Oakville and we have always had all internships here but recently a sister hospital down the road approximately 30 minutes has a couple internship opportunities. W're trying to figure out how to logistically have interns at another location when the other 90% of interns are at a different location, plus the teacher and two skills trainers are at this main Oakville location. Look ing for tips, suggestions and any advice.
Thank you!
Lisa

30 minutes is quite the haul! Could the Teacher rotate between the two - every other day, doing the lessons virtually for one group and present with the other? The skills trainers could alternate also depending on your needs, or one at one location and the second at the other. I see this was posted in October, so hopefully you've figured it out?? I'm curious for an update! smile

We are going to be in the same situation with our next cohort - due to covid our current site has made a large amount of redundancies. Luckily for us their organisation has another site a 20 minute drive away. Our current plan is for a second job coach to be employed for the first few weeks of each rotation. Because of the way we are operating we are only going to be able to complete two job rotations this coming year (our programme starts in Feb), what was the first rotation will be shorter and in college / online leaving us two longer 12 week rotations out on site.
