COURSE DESCRIPTION:
Clinical supervision is the foundational educational experience to acquire clinical skills. Most states now require that supervisors receive specific training in this important role. Clinical supervision, while appearing on the surface to be similar to psychotherapy and counseling, is a different relationship with unique qualities and characteristics that set it apart. It requires the development of new knowledge and expertise. Ethically and legally, supervisors are responsible for patient care as well as the training and development of their supervisees. Supervision becomes a balancing act between the needs of the patient population and the needs of the supervisee. This course will help you do your job better and give you skills to rely on in your supervision of interns.
