Doctoral Interns at Orientation Team Building
TRAINING OVERVIEW Providing training opportunities to developing clinicians is fundamental to the Counseling Center's mission. In the past year we provided mental health training through our Postdoctoral Fellowship, Doctoral Internship, and Graduate Student Clinician programs. Our trainees had the opportunity to learn and apply evidence-based treatment practices that are relevant to college populations, while receiving competency-based supervision from the Center’s excellent training staff. Each year, our staff work to create a warm and inclusive atmosphere where trainees are valued members of the team. Nine trainees (three in each program) completed their training experience and all were successful in obtaining job offers when their training experience ended. TRAINING EXPERIENCES • Provided individual/group counseling and urgent/crisis consultation for USF students • Received weekly supervision and regular mentorship from a diverse team of clinicians • Conducted consultation projects and outreach presentations for the USF community • Participated in didactic seminars, clinical team meetings, internal committees and professional development trainings as integral members of the center 12
