MFT Practicum Preparation
How to Apply for an MFT Intern Registration Number
After your master's degree is posted, you will be eligible to begin gaining the post-degree
hours of supervised experience that are required for the MFT license. To count these
hours, however, you must be registered with the Board of Behavioral Sciences as a
Marriage and Family Therapy Intern. This memo will take you through the process of
filing for your Intern number.

Search for MFT Practicum Sites via PepPro:
PepPro is a web based job search engine that includes MFT practicum sites. Although
this web based practicum search will be helpful in introducing MFT students to the
practicum sites, we encourage students to work closely with the Clinical Training
Coordinators. You can sign into PepPro via Wavenet.
Annual Career and Practicum Fairs:
The Career and Practicum Fair is an excellent opportunity for students to meet with
a number of potential practicum supervisors and speak with them about the nature of
their agencies. This is a great way for students to effectively introduce themselves
to a great number of agencies all in one place, all at one time.

Preparing for Practicum Meeting:
Once you have completed/enrolled in all of the prerequisites for Clinical Practicum,
you need to attend the Practicum Information Meeting (the term prior to Clinical Practicum).
You will receive information on agency openings, required paperwork, and other Practicum
requirements. These meetings are open to students at all Pepperdine graduate campuses,
so if you miss the one on your campus you can attend a meeting at a different campus.
You can also contact us to schedule a makeup meeting.
