What must an intern do if their educational program is interrupted?

  1. Ignore it and continue with the internship

  2. Notify the board immediately

  3. Wait until the program resumes

  4. Submit new educational credentials

The correct answer is: Notify the board immediately

When an intern's educational program is interrupted, the proper course of action is to notify the board immediately. This requirement is crucial because the board oversees the compliance and regulation of mortuary science practices, including the internships that students undergo. By informing the board promptly, the intern ensures that they maintain transparency and that any potential impact on their training or licensing can be properly addressed. The board may need to assess the situation, determine if the internship can continue, or if alterations to the intern's training plan are necessary. Immediate notification helps in managing any administrative or legal implications that may arise from the interruption of the educational program. In contrast, taking no action, waiting for the program to resume, or submitting new educational credentials does not address the requirement for oversight and communication with the regulatory body, which could result in complications regarding the intern's status and future eligibility for licensure.
