The initiate program consists of an intense series of exams and evaluations, both mental and physical, that are designed to eliminate all but the most suitable and dedicated applicants. On average, only three hundred symbionts are available for hosting each year and about one thousand Trill apply for joining. Because there are many more humanoid Trill than symbionts, prospective hosts are weeded out by a demanding selection procedure, overseen by the [[ma:Symbiosis Commission|Symbiosis Commission]].<ref name= "Trill MA"/> | ||
Initiates are first evaluated by the Trill Symbiosis Commission, which is responsible for their training. Near the end of the program the initiates are assigned to a field docent, a joined Trill who evaluates their suitability in real-world environments. | Initiates are first evaluated by the Trill Symbiosis Commission, which is responsible for their training.
