Supervision and Evaluation

The staff describes how our supervision model works to instill intern confidence.

Interns receive two hours of individual supervision each week on their personal psychotherapy cases and two hours of group case consultation with staff. Supervision of intern supervision of practicum students occurs weekly. Interns also receive supervision on their group work, supervision of career counseling and consultation and outreach programming. In addition, interns participate in a 1 hour monthly psychotropic medication case consultation with our psychiatrist.

Interns choose primary supervisors by matching intern and supervisor interests and preferences. Supervisors are expected to provide interns with continuous feedback on their progress via weekly supervisory meetings.

The intern and supervisor establish goals and expectations at the beginning of each semester and write a formal learning contract. At mid-semester an informal evaluation is conducted between intern and supervisor. At the end of each semester, formal written and oral evaluations are conducted.

Twice per year evaluations of intern progress are sent to their academic program training director. Evaluation is a two-way process in which interns evaluate each of their supervisors as well as the training program each semester.
