Advanced Practicum
Description
The UCCS advanced practicum seeks doctoral students who have completed at least one prior practicum experience (okay if this occurred during masters level training), with priority given to those with extensive experience. The practicum focuses primarily on providing personal counseling services in a University setting. We also require completion of two outreach activities per year, in collaboration with an intern or senior staff member. Students are required to be registered for university credit if they choose this practicum. This may be either as part of a formal advanced practicum course in their home program or as directed study credits. Students are expected to spend 15 hours on site with 8 openings per week, 1 hour of individual supervision, 1 hour of group supervision, and 5 hours of case review (paperwork/tape review, etc.). Advanced practicum students provide individual counseling only and are not engaged in the group counseling program. Students are required to audiotape all work and complete 4 videotapes per semester. We do not allow audiotape or videotape materials to leave our premises.
Eligibility
UCCS advanced practicum students must be currently enrolled in a doctoral program and have completed at least one prior practicum training experience. Placements are decided during spring semester and students then complete their practicum during the following fall and spring semesters.
