PSY 7704 - Practicum IV

Restricted to students in the Doctorate of Clinical Psychology program

In the six-semester Practicum sequence, students will be placed in a series of increasingly challenging internal and external placements, through which they will acquire hands-on training and experience in conducting psychological assessments and interventions, as well as other approved activities, in a range of settings and with a range of clients. In addition to approximately 16-20 hours per week of on-site practicum experience and individual face-to-face supervision with their practicum site supervisor, students will engage in weekly group supervision on campus in which they may further discuss and process issues arising from their placements with PsyD program faculty and peers. Didactic sessions (concurrent with group supervision) may focus on aspects of assessment, case formulation, treatment planning, and intervention that have been raised in group supervision.

In this lab, while working one-on-one or in groups with tutors, students will examine their WRI 1050 assignments and readings, receive guidance through the writing process, review grammar and mechanics, and develop self-editing skills. The emphasis of this lab is to help students gain the confidence and skill needed for them to write well independently.
