GCP 7010 - Practicum

This course helps students to develop necessary basic culturally-competent counseling skills to prepare for an internship in a variety of counseling settings. Students will engage in a 100-hour practicum placement in order to gain initial clinical experience in an agency setting. Of the 100 hours, 40 hours must be in direct clinical contact. The weekly practicum seminar is designed to provide support and supervision for students in their ongoing development as counseling practitioners. The goal is to increase awareness of the clinical & ethical skills needed to function in a professional role, gain experience with the daily operations of a counseling organization, and develop an appreciation of multiculturally competent clinical practices. Students are required to carry malpractice insurance for the duration of the clinical placement.
