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.
