The global pandemic, COVID-19, changed the clinical supervision landscape in professional psychology. Supervisees transitioned from in-person supervision, to virtual, or telesupervision, in some cases, with limited preparation. We used a mixed methods approach to evaluate supervisee experiences during the transition to telesupervision precipitated by the global pandemic and to provide a historical record of the impact of the pandemic on clinical training. We also assessed the relationship between the supervisory working alliance and attitudes toward telesupervision. Authors used consensual qualitative research–modified to analyze qualitative data from 324 participants. Data revealed categories of technology, organization and productivity, and communication and connection, as the top three challenges experienced by clinical supervisees. Supervisees reported flexibility and convenience and saving time and money, as the top two benefits of engaging in telesupervision during the pandemic. Quantitative data from 310 participants suggested a moderate, positive, relationship between supervisee perception of the working alliance and attitudes toward telesupervision. Implications for research, practice, and theory are discussed.
In 2009, Schattauer Verlag in Stuttgart, Germany first published the Applied Clinical Informatics (ACI) Journal. ACI has served since its inception as an official journal of the International Medical Informatics Association. Later, the American Medical Informatics Association and the European Federation for Medical Informatics named ACI as an official journal. This manuscript describes the history of the journal from its inception to present day including publication measures, challenges, and successes.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
