PSY 790 - Clinical Practicum VI: Client Advocacy

Units: 2
When Offered: Spring
This course is a forum for students to explore practicum-related experiences at an external practicum site, receiving consultation from faculty on topics such as professional development, legal and ethical considerations, case conceptualization, diagnosing, and assessment and intervention strategies, and serving as a source of support for students receiving clinical supervision. Direct observation is used at students’ practicum sites to help them develop clinical skills. For Clinical Practicum VI, students must complete at least 500 total hours of practicum experience, some of which were obtained while in Clinical Practicum V. Students focus on the competency of client advocacy throughout the semester.
