ABOUT THE WORKSHOP:
Clinical Supervision for Professional Competencies
Delivered via interactive videoconference (Zoom platform). This workshop is a PsyBA approved one day Master Class which will provide participants who are already approved supervisors with ongoing AHPRA accreditation for 5 years.
This workshop will provide a structure for supervisors to prepare higher education students, provisional psychologists and registrars to review, practise and evaluate core psychological professional competencies in supervision. This workshop will ensure supervisors have both knowledge and skills to assist supervisees in developing competency-based supervision plans and to be able to assess these competencies. Review of competencies includes knowledge, skills, behaviours, attitudes and values of the psychologist, so that they can act effectively using evidence-based practices. Supervisors attending this workshop will review practices in teaching and supporting supervisees to develop the core professional competencies. The workshop will review the core supervisory competencies and link to the psychological professional competencies including reflective, reflexive and deliberate practice interventions.
LEARNING OUTCOMES:
By the end of the workshop participants will be able to:
- Determine ways to improve the delivery of competency-based supervision for psychologists across the various developmental learning pathways
- Engage in reflective and reflexive practice to refine supervisory micro skills and foster supervisee skills development
- Consider ways to ensure core competencies are applied and reviewed within the supervision contract and aligned to supervisee developmental level, learning needs and education pathway
- Develop knowledge and skills of deliberate practice in assessment and feedback of supervisee micro skills, and related to area of practice endorsement where relevant in higher education and registrar supervision
- Ensure that self-care and professional and ethical practice is at the forefront of supervision with supervisees encouraged to engage in ongoing reflective and reflexive practice
- Ensure a health equity approach is adopted in supervision and professional practice with respect, awareness and responsiveness to cultural and diversity presentations of both supervisee and client.
