Course Description
This is the first module in a three-part series designed to meet the 15 hours of clinical supervision training required to supervise prelicensure registered associates (ACSWs, AMFTs, and APCCs). Throughout the three modules, readers will explore clinical supervision concepts and theories, investigate tools for supervision and evaluation, and review legal and ethical issues related to clinical supervision. Additionally, the three modules provide a comprehensive overview of clinical supervision through online content, case vignettes, relevant forms and publications, and short web-based videos. Module 1 introduces the types and definitions of supervision, the developmental stages for supervisors and supervisees, supervision styles and desirable qualities, and clinical supervision models. Module 1 also details specific California clinical supervisor qualifications and requirements. Each of the three modules incorporates an online posttest that must be passed with a score of 80% or better to print a certificate of completion.
