Interns are required to demonstrate assessment and report writing skills though the Initial Appraisal Program. The intern reworks the assessments and reports until they are determined to be of professional quality by the supervisor who countersigns each report. Interns will prepare one intake report, two case notes, and one termination note to be approved by their primary supervisor. Case notes should be in Center DAP format. Copies approved and signed by the supervisor will be submitted to the Director of Training to document competency in this area.
Presentations are similar in format to case conferences.
However, the emphasis is on education, therefore, a portion of the seminar is devoted to expanding the knowledge base of attendees regarding a particular area of cultural difference. Interns will present a case to the staff to document competency in this area.
