How is the practicum process completed online?
Learners will participate in direct client contact and supervision in their local area. During the first six months of clinical work, Learners also participate in weekly group practicum sessions with a qualified faculty member and other Learners in the program. These practicum sessions are conducted online via Internet video conferencing, using security features in order to maintain confidentiality and security of client records and meet HIPAA regulations. • With guidance from your Northcentral Faculty Mentor, you will establish a local practicum site with a qualified supervisor that meets regulations outlined by your local licensure board. The local supervisor must be a trained MFT and must be licensed in your local area. • In addition to working with a local supervisor, your clinical work will be reviewed during the group practicum sessions by an AAMFT Approved Supervisor on the MFT faculty at Northcentral University.
