The practice area of clinical supervision has recently acknowledged a demand for efficacious and accessible supervision training opportunities. As with any area of clinical practice, effective supervision requires prior training. Those who engage in supervision practices must be well-trained to adequately support the advancement of evidence-based clinicians. This article will discuss the upcoming changes in supervision training requirements and how embracing these changes will ultimately transform the fields of audiology and speech language pathology.
This study investigated the degree to which clinic directors rated the influence of American Speech-Language-Hearing Association (ASHA) discharge criteria and organizational factors on client discharge in the university setting. Results found that university clinic directors regarded ASHA's client-centered criteria to more strongly influence client discharge practices than did organizational factors. In fact, organizational factors (e.g., fee structure, resources, scheduling, disorder characteristics) were revealed to have little to no influence on discharge practices. Results have implications for the preprofessional education of student clinicians in the university clinic and how student clinicians are oriented to discharge practices across a variety of clinical settings.
