Practicum Goals

The primary goal of the Advanced Practicum is to provide a generalist training for students to make use of their skills in their future training.

The WMCC advanced practicum training model is developmental in nature, considering the experiences obtained within academic programs and during other practicum experiences. Trainees are assisted in learning, applying, and refining their counseling and therapy skills,theoretical orientation, and conceptualization of clients through individual supervision, group supervision, apprenticeship, instruction and on-going feedback. Formal and informal feedback about the advanced practicum experience and the individual trainee's development is completed and exchanged throughout the year.
