Clinical Supervision & Professional Development
Placements are supported by Dr Roshi Raoofi, Registered Clinical Supervisor, together with appropriately experienced members of the Together We Heal multidisciplinary team where relevant.
We think that field experience should be about more than just seat time.
We want our program to be a place where students can engage critically about their field experiences. We want to create a space where students can be given and receive feedback to help develop the skills necessary to build their self-confidence in the profession.
Students may have opportunities to participate in appropriate Clinical Supervision, reflective practice, case discussions, team communication and professional development activities, subject to their individual placement arrangements.
A Multidisciplinary Learning Environment
Placement with Together We Heal provides the opportunity to work within a multi disciplinary team.
Students may be introduced to how different professionals and support staff work together to provide and support person-centered care and support, and the contribution of a Psychologist and the multidisciplinary team.
This may support students to appreciate other professional roles and collaborative practice, as well as the communication and liaison between professional services and the need for and benefits of coordinated and integrated support.
