University at Buffalo (UB)
You can expect to participate in monthly group supervision in our series on family relational assessment and intervention. You’ll review core clinical theories and learn a core biobehavioral family assessment technique, which you’ll practice with patients and families from the outpatient clinic.
In our program, we give you many opportunities to gain feedback and learn from your peers’ experiences. When you’re working a case, you and an attending physician will perform the initial session with the patient and family while your fellow trainees — along with an additional attending — observe the session through a two-way mirror. At the conclusion of the assessment, we conduct a group debriefing. Additionally, we record all sessions for you to use as learning tools.
These cases serve as part of your required family intervention psychotherapy caseload.
Twice per month (six months of the year)
