Consistent with the CPA accreditation criteria, interns are provided a minimum of four hours per week of supervision, including three hours of individual supervision, and one hour of group supervision.  Interns from both streams participate together in group supervision and a two hour weekly Intern Seminar. Periodically Intern Seminar is co-attended with the residents from the Memorial University of Newfoundland Counseling Centre residency program.  The intentions for co-mingling training experiences between intern streams as well as with interns from another program are to broaden interns’ training experiences across the lifespan and to enhance support from training cohorts. Additional supervision and training is provided, as needed, to support the completion of all competency requirements, and to support intern specialization interests.  Interns are also encouraged to attend additional professional development activities, such as grand rounds and workshops.
