Philadelphia College of Osteopathic Medicine School of Professional and Applied Psychology recognizes that clinical supervisors are pivotal to the training experience of competent psychologists and counselors.
The PCOM School of Professional and Applied Psychology is committed to maintaining a strong and active linkage with our training sites. At our annual Supervisor Training Day, we distinguish our supervisors for the valued service they perform on behalf of our students in our clinical psychology, school psychology and counseling psychology programs, and provide them with opportunities to extend and broaden their supervisory competencies through advanced training.
The annual supervisor training day includes two live webinars. View the program brochure (PDF) for information about each session including educational objectives and suggested readings.
Adult ADHD is one of the more impairing syndromes encountered in outpatient psychology and psychiatry clinical practices. The worldwide prevalence of adult ADHD is estimated at around 3% (4.4% in the US). CBT for adult ADHD is an evidence-supported psychosocial treatment, but its clinical implementation is made difficult because clients with adult ADHD struggle with follow-through on their intentions and goals despite knowing what to do— that is, ADHD is a performance problem, not a knowledge problem. Consequently, the current session offers an implementation-focused approach to delivering CBT for adults with ADHD.

Most mental health professionals live in a state of dissonance: the knowledge of our own mortality and no written plan for our practices and patients should we become incapacitated or die. This presentation will address the ethical principles underlying a professional will and describe what should be included in a professional will. Drs. Belding and Siegel will weave in clinical examples from their own practices into a lively discussion of how and why providing continuity for our patients after our death is an essential part of caring for our patients.
The presentation will focus on the many regulatory and ethical issues underpinning the necessity of such planning. It will address some real life details such as choosing a professional executor, providing for confidentiality of records, notifying patients of your plan, organizing access to your premises and dealing with passwords and locations of records.
