What is the minimum number of hours an AIT must serve per week?

The minimum number of hours an Administrator-in-Training (AIT) must serve per week is 20 hours. This requirement is set to ensure that the AIT gains adequate practical experience and exposure to the various responsibilities and operational aspects of health facility administration. Serving a minimum of 20 hours each week allows the AIT to immerse themselves in the day-to-day activities of the facility, interact with staff and residents, and develop the necessary skills to manage a healthcare environment effectively.

Engaging in this level of commitment helps prepare the AIT for the challenges they will face upon becoming a licensed administrator, ensuring they meet both regulatory standards and the expectations of the profession.
