Psychology Internship Program - Supervision

Psychology interns complete a minimum of two hours of supervision per week, with the option of additional supervision throughout the week as needed. Faculty have an open-door policy for on-the-fly supervision or staffing of clients.

Interns receive two hours of individual supervision per week. Site supervisors are doctoral level licensed psychologists that are certified as a Health Service Provider in Psychology. Notes and electronic medical records are signed by one of the intern’s assigned supervisors.

Group supervision is one hour weekly and includes all doctoral interns on site as well as all site supervisors. Supervision of supervision is also given in group format weekly, only when supervisees are available to the interns. Group supervision and supervision of supervision occurs in the same block of time weekly and is protected time for the interns.

If students are available onsite, interns are also given the opportunity to provide supervision to practicum students while receiving their own supervision for this task. Students will be made available when there are appropriate applicants and a need within the clinic. When students are available, supervision of the student occurs for at least one hour weekly, scheduled at the intern’s and student’s convenience. Supervisees are typically psychology graduate students completing their master’s or doctoral level practicum experience from universities in the region. Supervisees may also have the opportunity to supervise a master’s level social work student who is receiving academic training through the University of Indianapolis or Indiana University/Purdue University School of Social Work. Supervisors and supervisees are matched to the same partner for the duration of their rotation. All supervision typically occurs on site. There are several rooms that are available for supervision, and reserved conference rooms for didactics and group supervision.
