Interns will demonstrate knowledge of models and practice of supervision through either direct or simulated supervisory experience. Interns will be expected to demonstrate the ability to build effective and professional supervisory relationships with supervisees, will be available and provide regular, timely consultation and feedback to supervisees. Interns are expected to monitor treatment progress of clients under supervisees’ care, communicate expectations and goals, and encourage awareness of diversity in those to whom they provide supervision. Interns will also be expected to provide support and feedback that is developmentally appropriate for supervisees level of training and experience and demonstrate awareness of supervisee needs and welcome and implement feedback where appropriate.
Understanding of supervision is advanced through both formal and informal training and supervised practice of graduate-level trainees when available. Each intern is expected to gain a understanding of supervision theory and their application through direct supervisory experience or simulated experience through peer supervision and discussion in individual and group supervision.
