The practicum is a distinctly-defined and supervised clinical mental health counseling experience that provides direct mental health service work. Students are placed in a wide variety of clinical settings throughout the greater Boston area. Students engage in 240 hours of clinical training over the course of an academic semester where they provide clinical mental health counseling services to a diverse range of clients. In addition to clinical supervision received on site, students meet for weekly group supervision with a faculty member and other student trainees in the MHCBM Program. As part of this, students conduct brief psychosocial bedside interviews at Boston Medical Center, under the supervision of the course instructor. 3 cr, Spring and Summer sem.
