Abstract:
Clinical supervision provides a vital foundation for effective clinical training during graduate school. In fact, all trainees will undergo thousands of supervised hours during years of training before being license eligible. Supervision is recognized as a core competency domain for psychologists and a distinct activity in the literature. However, little empirical attention has been given to the process, content and outcomes of clinical supervision. This talk will discuss current guidelines for clinical supervision, highlight some key points of high-quality supervision, and discuss opportunities for UM students to learn more about supervision during graduate school.
