Orientation The internship training year begins the Tuesday after Labor Day. During September, interns attend Orientation and Training Seminars, and begin to participate in a variety of Supervision and CCSD Meetings. Interns meet with the Director of Training and other staff to learn of the training opportunities at the Center, to discuss the policies and procedures of the CCSD, to go over expectations and learning goals, and to answer any questions that arise. Interns are also introduced to key University and Division of Student Affairs offices and staff members. They attend Training Seminars conducted by CCSD and Lane Health Center staff on issues relevant to the practice of psychotherapy in a college setting during the Fall Quarter.
Every attempt is made to provide interns with their top preferences.
Professional Development Interns are encouraged to use and create opportunities to engage in professional development activities throughout the training year. This is accomplished in a number of ways. Interns are provided with funds to attend conferences. Release time to work on and defend the dissertation is also available. Supervision and seminars provide opportunity to discuss, explore and observe professional conduct, behavior and demeanor with colleagues.
