Each doctoral student is expected to participate in the provision of supervision. Students take FSHS 984 in either their first or second fall semester. In their second year, they complete two FSHS 986 practica during the fall and spring semesters. Typically this involves supervising a master’s student. Opportunities also exist to lead a master’s practicum group and/or provide live supervision one evening per week at the KSU Family Center. Doctoral students begin to provide supervision once they, and the clinical faculty, feel they are ready. Supervision candidates are supervised by faculty members who are AAMFT Approved Supervisors. Under certain circumstances, it may be possible to arrange for more extensive supervision experiences. Notes
