With the tripartite relationship between student, faculty, and field supervisor, supervision takes on another dimension in the externship context. As faculty supervisors, externship clinicians ensure students’ educational progress through reflection and other techniques while supporting field supervisors in their direct supervision of the student. This session will discuss strategies for both aspects of externship supervision. We will discuss different techniques faculty use to supervise the learning experience, while being mindful of ethical considerations and other potential limitations. We will also discuss ways of interacting with field supervisors during the externship, and beyond. This session will also touch on the ABA requirements, which outline this supervisory model.
