PY 415 - Professional Development Group (Fall)


The Professional Development Group is a two-course series (fall and spring semester) in which students explore issues of professional and career development in clinical psychology. They become orientated to The Chicago School as a whole, as well as the Psy.D. Department, and review the relevant policies and procedures of the school and department, as well as the APA ethical guidelines. Students also plan for progression through the program, develop skills in self-evaluation and reflection, and prepare to begin their first practicum. Successful completion of this course requires passing performance in community-based service or experiential learning opportunities, on either The Chicago School Writing Assessment Program proficiency exam or in the Academic Writing Program course, as well as in the Academic Focus Program.
