Learners continue to apply the knowledge gained in the previous internships and use fundamental communication and interviewing principles to perform initial assessments and conduct clinical sessions with individuals, couples, families, and groups. Learners in the internship courses meet weekly with site supervisors and attend weekly synchronous (live) group supervision with program clinical faculty supervisors using secure web conferencing solutions. Grading for this course is S/NS. It is the learner's responsibility to research and comply with the specific clinical experience licensure requirements of their states. Cannot be fulfilled by transfer.
