When interns provide supervision of doctoral practicum students, they receive weekly supervision from a senior staff member. The sessions address the interns' questions and issues regarding the practicum trainee's clinical work and professional growth. This is also an opportunity for interns to focus on developing their supervisory skills. Intern Case Conference . A one-hour case conference is scheduled weekly for case presentations by interns and senior staff.
Discussion focuses on case conceptualization, diagnostic and treatment issues.
In addition, some meetings are of a more informal nature for intern sharing and mutual support. Evaluation and Feedback Evaluation of Interns . Interns are evaluated formally by their supervisors at the end of each semester. These evaluations assess current strengths and weaknesses and are used to focus the next semester's supervision. Interns are given a complete description of the evaluation procedures at the beginning of the year.
