PSY 6990 - External Clinical Practicum

1-3 Credit(s) | $4 per credit Fee

The clinical practicum consists of supervision of clinical activities at external practicum placement sites (e.g., psychotherapy, assessment). Specifically, starting in the Summer after Year 2 of the Program, students will begin seeing clients at various clinical sites in the surrounding communities (e.g., Cedar City, St. George, Salt Lake City). Students will also be assigned external placements each subsequent semester during Year 3 and Year 4 (i.e., Fall, Spring, Summer). The main goals of this course are to (a) help students continue conceptualizing the delivery of basic clinical services, (b) continue building the foundation they are using in their work with clients, and (c) and to help students accept constructive feedback related to their own clinical efforts. It is important to note that students will receive individual supervision on site if the practicum placement includes a licensed Doctoral-level Psychologist on staff. In instances where there are no licensed Doctoral-level Psychologists on site, individual supervision will be done by a core Faculty member from the SUU PsyD Program (e.g., DCT).
