Emphasis is often placed on the supervisory skills of clinical educators who are working with students from the allied health professions, but minimum training is provided. While the need for supervisory training has been recognized, this course is designed to help bridge the gap between supervision and mentorship. Speech-language pathologists (SLPs) who are serving or desire to serve as clinical fellowship mentors during the clinical fellowship (CF) process will benefit the most from this course. Clinical fellows may also find the information in this course useful.
Strategies to help CF mentors to contribute to the success of clinical fellows will be provided along with effective communication methods. Information regarding the supervisory stages and styles of the Anderson continuum of supervision will be reviewed, along with the steps of the clinical fellowship process.
