PSY8180 Advanced Practicum (FOSCI)

Units 4.0 (Psychology) Band 1

Pre-requisite: PSY8090 and PSY8150

Synopsis

The Advanced Practicum challenges the student across two domains. First, the substance of the clinical training is of significant breadth and/or depth of knowledge and skills in a particular area. This demands a scholarly integration of theory and practice built on self reflective processes, comparative analysis and critical thinking. Second, service to the profession includes the provision of supervision to colleagues who are in earlier stages of postgraduate supervised practice, and provision of a professional development activity for mental health professionals. These activities represent two essential aspects of contributing to Australian Psychology through mentorship and lifelong learning practices.
