Currently, I manage on average 50 students in a "clinical residency" where they are demonstrating clinical and therapeutic knowledge and skills for the industry that they are training for. I provide a strong structure so the students can focus on the aquisition of the experience, and so I have time to "touch" each students with one-on-one instructional guidance and feedback. It is my goal for them to be very self-directed learners so that they can be self-directed in their future professional life, and to consider themselves life-long learners seeking out appropriate continuing education, supervision, and training that they need to run a private practice. I see myself as a coach and mentor that has learned to encourage critical thinking and problem-solving so that I can easily delegate tasks to the students that they will be managing in their own future private practices.The clinical residency gives them optimal time to polish their interpersonal skills as they work with our public clients, and fellow therapists so they are more self-aware, and mindful of the perception others have of them. Success in the industry that they are training for is highly dependent on therapeutic problem-solving, but even more so on their non-verbal and verbal communication skills (active listening, client interviews, 360  client feedback, client service,& teamwork) I encourage them to research pertinent topics so that their written documentation is clear, concise  and technically on point for the next therapist.
