Licensed psychologists conduct individual supervision of interns on a regularly scheduled basis. Each intern may have at least two primary supervisors during the year. Formal supervision time is scheduled for two hours per week. After intern supervision assignments are made, the intern and supervisor work together to develop goals so that a mutual direction can be established and supervision time can be used most productively. Senior staff who supervise interns meet informally every other week with the Training Director to review intern progress and to discuss intern training needs.
Unscheduled supervision is always available to staff members and interns.
Each intern must complete two written testing assessments during the first three-quarters of the internship. The Counseling Center staff provides supervision and feedback on the completed written assessments. Additional testing experience may be gained depending upon the interest of the intern and the availability of clients who might need formal testing. This time is used to organize cases for discussion with the primary supervisor. The Student Counseling Center provides a practicum training site for many other training programs.
