Interns are formally evaluated on these competencies using the General Competencies Evaluation Form at four points throughout the year; mid-evaluations at 3-month and 9-month intervals and full evaluations at 6-month and 12-month intervals. In addition to the General Competencies evaluation form, the neuropsychology track (general internship with special emphasis in neuropsychology) intern is formally evaluated on six neuropsychology-specific competencies using the Neuropsychology Competencies Form at the same time intervals. Evaluations include numerical ratings (1-5 scale) and the required minimum level of achievement (MLA) to successfully complete the internship program is a rating of 3 across all competency items by the end of the training year. Narrative feedback on competency items is also provided, which offers more personalized and specific information about the intern's progress, performance, as well as clinical strengths and any areas that should be addressed for additional professional growth. The 6- and 12-month evaluation forms will be reviewed with the intern and sent to the doctoral training program after the successful completion of our internship. Interns’ progress toward meeting these competencies is reviewed on a monthly basis via status reports provided by intern supervisors. Following these reports, each supervisor then provides a summary of what was shared with the intern to facilitate transparency and professional development. Feedback and discussion regarding strengths and areas for improvement is a routine, ongoing and expected process that is part of supervision throughout the training year. All trainee forms and evaluations are stored either physically and/or digitally in private and secure locations. Digital files are kept in a private and secure folder that only the Directors of Training can access. Any p hysical files are kept in a locked filling cabinet in the Director of Training’s locked office.
Didactic Training:
Interns are required to attend the different seminars and the required didactics on their selected rotations.
Assessment Experience:
Interns are required to complete one comprehensive assessment case with an integrated report during the training year typically completed within one of the rotations. Relevant competency elements of the General Competencies Evaluation Form will also be evaluated and reviewed with the intern by the assessment supervisors.
Supervision of Supervision:
Interns are required to demonstrate competence in clinical supervision by supervising at least one psychotherapy case performed by a psychology practicum student. Relevant competency elements of the General Competencies Evaluation Form will also be evaluated and reviewed with the intern by the Intern Supervision of Supervision Seminar Coordinators. Interns will also receive written feedback from the practicum student that they supervise, although this information is more for learning purposes and does not i nfluence the intern’s successful completion of internship.
