This Early Career Committee Zoom Meeting will be a chance to meet other recent graduates and discuss how to make the most out of supervision, whether it's provided by your employer or you are paying for an outside supervisor. We'll cover the different supervision requirements in DC, MD and VA, and other supervision topics such as using supervision to develop your clinical sense, process recordings and case presentations as part of supervision, appropriate supervise-ee preparation for supervision sessions, inside vs. outside supervision, and the benefits and challenges of group supervision.
