PSYC22006 - Clinic Team IV

General Information

Unit Synopsis

Clinic Team IV builds on Clinic Team III (PSYC22005) to provide you with advanced practice skills required for the professional competencies in clinical psychology specified by the Australian Psychology Accreditation Council (APAC) and to prepare you for the Registrar Program to gain an Area of Practice Endorsement in Clinical Psychology with the Psychology Board of Australia. This includes the culturally-sensitive, evidence-based practice of clinical psychology, both autonomously and as a member of a multidisciplinary team. During your clinical practicum in a community-based setting, you will continue to develop your knowledge and skills to formulate and share case conceptualisations and intervention plans.

Feedback, Recommendations and Responses

Every unit is reviewed for enhancement each year. At the most recent review, the following staff and student feedback items were identified and recommendations were made.

Source: Student feedback via Moodle 'Have your Say'.
Feedback
Students disliked the viva assessment task but also stated they thought it was important to their learning. Students noted that the viva feedback would have been more useful if delivered earlier, either mid-year or in the Residential School. Students thought having this feedback earlier would have allowed them to implement changes through the reflective practice process
Recommendation
Investigate possibilities for changing timeframe of Vivas so that students do this earlier in the term or in the Residential School for this unit.
Action Taken
All classes and the Residential School were held online in 2021 due to COVID-related restrictions, so Vivas could not be held earlier. Planning for 2022 includes the option to do the Viva earlier in the term. This would also allow any resits to be done by the end of term if these are required.

Recommendation
Continue with the class format of lectures, group supervision and student case presentations.
Action Taken
The class format of lectures, group supervision, and case presentations was continued in 2021.
