specialization are strongly considered when determining these rotation schedules, but if interns have gaps in their training, it is important to fill those gaps throughout the training year. In order to ensure generalist training for all interns, rotation assignments must span different types of clinical settings. Please note that while the Directors of Training will do their best to accommodate intern preferences, no specific supervisor or rotation is guaranteed.
Workload/Time Allocation
All interns are expected to work 40 hours per week. This includes programmatic experiences and clinical rotation experiences. All interns are required to complete 2,080 hours of training (including any granted annual leave, sick leave, and authorize absence). Please see the COVID- 19 addendum at the end of this brochure for details on how this may have changed during pandemic restrictions. During the first month of the training year, interns are expected to identify their training goals and to work with their rotation supervisors to develop a schedule of activities for the year designed to meet these goals. The conceptualization going into the Individualized Training Plan (ITP) should involve self-assessment together with discussions with the supervisors to facilitate personal and professional growth and development.
A breakdown of the encouraged weekly time distribution across programmatic and clinical rotation experiences is listed below:
Programmatic Experiences: Seminars: 5 hours/week
Clinical Rotation Experiences:
Clinical Work: 18 – 20 hours/week (across both rotations)* Administrative Time: 8 – 10 hours/week (across both rotations)*
Supervision of practicum student/Assessment case: 3 hours/week Misc. Administrative Time: 4 hours/week
TOTAL = 12 hours TOTAL = 28 hours *The time allocation for clinical rotation experiences will differ depending on clinical rotation.
Supervision
Receiving supervision: Interns will schedule a total of four hours of supervision per week (10% of the interns' supervised professional experience time). At least two hours per week will be individual face-to-face supervision: interns are required to schedule at least one hour per week of individual face-to-face supervision with each of their two concurrent rotation supervisors. Additional weekly individual and group supervision is provided by the supervisors of the comprehensive assessment and provision of supervision cases (please see sections on the assessment and provision of supervision requirements below) and may also be provided by delegated supervisors within clinical rotations. Each intern has four primary supervisors throughout the year who are each responsible for the training experiences on their specific rotations. Supervisors assist in selecting patients and making referrals, representing Psychology
