Results & Statistics from Form 990
Of the 98 total facilities eligible for this study, 23 offered
compensation for their interns. Eight of these offered stipends, seven
offered an hourly wage, and eight did not specify the type of
compensation. Nine of the facilities providing compensation also offered
unpaid internships.
There was no significant difference between facilities with Compensated
Intern Programs and facilities with Uncompensated Intern Programs in
every category of revenue sources (p > 0.05) and
every category of expenses, except for Occupancy (p = 0.043). The
exact percentages are displayed in Table 1, and the data is visually
presented in Figures 1 and 2.
