Supervised Practical Placement I - PSYN849
This unit is offered on a pass/fail basis.
This is the first Supervised Practical Placement unit and comprises 250 hours of appropriate work under the close supervision of a qualified field supervisor at the Macquarie University Psychology Clinic. As such it provides the opportunity to put theory/techniques gained in coursework units into practice. In this unit students will be developing their knowledge of relevant clinical conditions, and the advantages and disadvantages of particular neuropsychological assessment procedures. They should have the ability to seek the relevant knowledge, if this is not already available, and to begin to generate hypotheses about what to expect. They will also begin to develop interviewing, interpretation and report writing abilities, providing them with solid foundational skills to pursue external placements.
