Many clinicians find themselves responsible for supervising students, externs, clinical fellows, other clinicians, or support personnel, but have little or no training on clinical education and supervision. This course presents an updated version of the nine core “building blocks” that are essential elements of every supervision experience. Presenters Jerrold Jackson and Nancy McMahon share fresh perspectives as they walk through practical planning exercises to help clinicians create a structured clinical education and supervision experience that will provide supervisees with the support and feedback they need to become independent, reflective practitioners.

This course is a revised version of the Nine Building Blocks of Supervision course originally released in 2017 and uses the same course outline and many of the same materials from the earlier course.
