Prepping Clients is Key! While most clients appreciate the training clinic experience, it's important to prepare them ahead of time. By informing clients that trainees will be involved in the evaluation process, they are more open-minded and receptive to the benefits of having a team of experts working on their assessment.
Brainstorm 2-3 ways you can alert your clients to the role of trainees in your practice and support trainees in stepping confidently into these conversations with clients.

Collaboration Enhances Evaluation Quality

One of the great advantages of a training clinic is the opportunity for trainees to work closely with experienced clinicians. Through weekly case consultations and shadowing experiences, trainees gain valuable supervision and learn to identify blind spots, ultimately improving the accuracy and thoroughness of evaluations.
Consider how you will incorporate trainee feedback into your decision making process, and determine how trainee feedback will be collected.
