What is the maximum number of hours an Administrator in Training (AIT) is permitted to serve daily?

An Administrator in Training (AIT) program is designed to prepare individuals for a future role as a licensed health facility administrator. The structure of these programs often includes a combination of supervised training hours that ensure comprehensive exposure to all aspects of facility management.

The maximum number of hours an AIT is permitted to serve daily is set at 10 hours. This guideline helps ensure that the training experience remains effective and sustainable, providing sufficient time for learning while avoiding overwhelming the trainee. By limiting the daily hours to 10, the program promotes a balance between practical experience and adequate rest, maximizing the quality of training and the overall learning experience.

This limitation is rooted in various regulatory and educational standards aimed at protecting both the AIT and the residents of the facility they are training in. AITs need to have sufficient time to reflect on their training, receive mentorship, and engage in learning activities, all of which can be compromised if their daily hours are extended beyond this limit.
