Description

Clinical supervisors have a significant deal of duty and obligation to serve as ethical, professional role models; nevertheless, many supervisors do not get adequate particular training to equip them for this vital job. Many supervisors are promoted based on their exceptional clinical abilities rather than their supervisor training, replicating the faults of their predecessors. Supervisors are ethically and legally accountable for the work and growth of their supervisees, as well as patient/client care. Supervision is a delicate balancing act between the demands of both parties.

Promotion to supervision cannot be based exclusively on clinical abilities. Regardless of degree of schooling, qualifications, field, populations serviced, or work experience, the clinician must build a distinct set of skills and knowledge base to become a competent and successful supervisor capable of handling a wide range of ethical, clinical, and supervisee scenarios.

Dr. Patterson will assist you in developing or improving your supervisory, critical thinking, and relationship-building abilities. She will also help you establish a supervision strategy and negotiate contracts with supervisees. Take away supervision skills that you can use right away to help you do your work more successfully and feel more comfortable in your role as a clinical supervisor.
