Dr. Myers oversees the overall distribution of cases for each resident. Administrative and clinical problems are solved by the trainees and clinic director. In the first year of training, residents receive one hour of supervision weekly, and in the second year, two hours weekly. Supervision may employ shared interviews, case conferences, audio and video tapes, in addition to traditional approaches. Caseloads vary with time commitments in other rotations and are monitored to provide experience with a spectrum of disorders, gender and ages.
Residents keep a log of cases according to age, gender, diagnosis, treatment and disposition.
Residents' outpatient commitment increases in the second year when inpatient rotations have been completed. The central learning experience is thorough diagnostic and therapeutic work with youth and their families. More intensive therapy is emphasized in the second year of training.
