Frequently Asked Questions:
As a fellow how much time will I spend doing clinical work?
Consistent with BCSC’s commitment to training and didactics, fellows will spend at least 35-40% of their time in clinical work (both direct and indirect), and the remainder of their time will be spent receiving individual supervision, group supervision, and participating in multiple clinical rounds, consultation teams, and a variety of peer supervisions.
What will my responsibilities be as a fellow?
Working as part of a coordinated multidisciplinary treatment team, the fellows’ responsibilities include providing individual, family, and group therapy to clients between the ages of 3 and 30 and their families. Fellows are expected to co-lead two different groups based upon their track of interest, as well as to assist with our therapeutic summer camps.
How many fellows are accepted?
The total number of fellows accepted may change from year to year. We typically accept at least two post-graduate fellows per academic calendar year.
