N O R T H C E N T R A L U N I V E R S I T Y: N C U M F T S U P E R V I S O R C O R N E R 18 Clinical Support Committee (CSC) The CSC supports those who are experiencing personal struggles that may impact their professional or academic development during the practicum preparation process and subsequent clinical courses. The full CSC is chaired by the director of clinical training and comprised of the associate director and the MFT clinical coordinator. Oftentimes, the current NCU faculty supervisor is also invited to attend. Additional supports, such as the local clinical supervisor or authorized site representative, may also be asked to attend. The one-on-one CSC meetings will take place with either the director of MFT clinical training or the associate director of MFT clinical training. The nature of the concern and recommendations from the NCU faculty supervisor will be considered when determining the appropriate intervention tier. Students may be referred to the CSC for several reasons, such as: • Sudden health concern • Significant change in one's life (end of relationship, loss of loved one, etc.) • Displaying symptoms of burnout or compassion fatigue • Struggle with work-life balance At the conclusion of the meeting, the CSC will identify via email any follow-up items that must be completed or recommendations for next steps. If you don't have one already, we recommend that you think about how you will address any issues that arise that are beyond the "normal" developmental process. A remediation plan can be shared with the intern, their NCU faculty, and the Clinical Administrative Training Team. We recommend that any plan includes the following: • Specific growth area •Specific outcome that you are looking for • How everyone will know the outcome has been met • A plan for how the outcome will be achieved • The expected deadline for when the outcome will be achieved, and • What are the consequences if the outcome is not achieved? We are happy to partner with you any time there are any intern concerns and appreciate your collaboration with us on interns' growth and development!
