Professional Experience Placement (PEP)
To be eligible to undertake PEP, all students must be “Verified” as meeting College of Health and Medicine PEP Safety in Practice Compliance as per the Course Entry Requirements. Students who cannot or do not comply with these requirements will not be allocated PEP and therefore will not be able to complete this unit.
Introduction
This is the first period of supervised professional experience practice for all students, and for most students this placement occurs in the University Psychology Clinic (UPC). In total the first clinical placement requires 300 to 350 hours of professional experience at the UPC, or other suitable external placement setting and you are expected to reach a minimum of 80 hours direct client contact. Students will work in the Clinic under the supervision of experienced clinical supervisors, accessing a minimum of one hour of supervision per day on placement (50% of required hours must be individual). This placement provides an opportunity to develop some clinical skills working directly with clients to a level consistent with expectations for this stage of clinical training. It is the first placement in an integrated sequence of professional experience placements in the clinical training program.
