Students who do well in this advanced assessment practicum are students who have foundational assessment skills (i.e. able to administer and score psychological tests fairly independently) and strong clinical skills. This practicum will offer a student the opportunity to integrate assessment and therapeutic skills. The student who wants to grow, step out of their comfort zone, integrate their foundational skills, refine their clinical/therapeutic skills and clinical judgement will be successful in this practicum. This advanced assessment practicum will help you learn a style/approach to assessment, and flexibly assess and understand patients in a therapeutic context.
