“…Traditionally, expert raters provide dichotomous ratings of the trainee’s performance (Miller, 2010). Procedures of an OSCE may vary, but generally feature trainee engagement with a standardized patient or actor who operates from a preestablished patient script (Miller, 2010). The OSCE possesses several benefits, including high face validity as a training tool that may encourage further trainee preparation (Rudland, Wilkinson, Smith-Han, & Thompson-Fawcett, 2008).…”

Clinical and counseling psychology programs currently lack adequate evidence-based competency goals and training in suicide risk assessment. To begin to address this problem, this article proposes core competencies and an integrated training framework that can form the basis for training and research in this area. First, we evaluate the extent to which current training is effective in preparing trainees for suicide risk assessment. Within this discussion, sample and methodological issues are reviewed. Second, as an extension of these methodological training issues, we integrate empirically- and expert-derived suicide risk assessment competencies from several sources with the goal of streamlining core competencies for training purposes. Finally, a framework for suicide risk assessment training is outlined. The approach employs Objective Structured Clinical Examination (OSCE) methodology, an approach commonly utilized in medical competency training. The training modality also proposes the Suicide Competency Assessment Form (SCAF), a training tool evaluating self- and observer-ratings of trainee core competencies. The training framework and SCAF are ripe for empirical evaluation and potential training implementation.

“…In vivo simulations as a method of training clinical students are widely used in fields such as medicine, social work, nursing, psychology, and increasingly in CFT (Hodgson, Lamson, & Feldhousen, 2007; Miller, 2007; Miller, Todahl, & Linville, 2007). One of the advantages of this type of training is that students can gain experience with anxiety‐provoking situations before actually dealing with them in the real world (Bartfay, Rombough, Howse, & LeBlance, 2004; Hodgson et al., 2007; Linville, Miller, & Todahl, 2007).…”

“…The field of MFT has recently engaged in a movement to define, teach, and evaluate clinical competence standards (Miller et al., 2007; Nelson et al., 2007). Along with the competency orientation there has been an increased demand for output‐oriented, competency‐based teaching strategies (Miller, 2007). The mock trial exercises discussed in this article are one method to teach forensic core competencies.…”

This article provides a description of a university-based project that used mock trials to train both practicum-level marriage and family therapy and law students in forensic work, and a qualitative investigation of student experiences with the training. The content of the training focused on American Association for Marriage and Family Therapy (AAMFT) core competencies that relate specifically to the legal aspects of therapy. This article describes the didactic training the students received to prepare for the mock trials, the structure and protocol of the mock trials themselves, and the specific AAMFT core competencies addressed in the project. The results of an analysis of focus group interviews with participating law school (n = 15) and marriage and family therapy (n = 19) students are presented as well as the results of a 36-item Knowledge, Skills, and Comfort Level Questionnaire completed by participating marriage and family therapy students. Participants discussed the value of the training with regard to preparation for mock trial procedures, preparation for testimony, importance of documentation, and cross-discipline collaboration issues. The article concludes with a discussion of how this type of training may be used in developing students' skills with regard to forensic and legal core competencies, and future research directions.

“…The main benefit of using the OSCE is the possibility of linking a set of core competencies with the setup of simulated clinical situations that allows the measurement of determined skills. This implies that the OSCE can be considered as a "gold standard" for evaluating healthcare professionals 25 ; however, some disadvantages of the OSCE have been indentified. This is the most stressful type of exam for the students, and stress could adversely affect their performance 9 .…”
