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. More information about each session, including educational objectives and suggested readings, can be found below.
This CE session, led by Dr. Gregory Brown, provides an overview of the Safety Planning Intervention (SPI), a brief, collaborative, and evidence-based approach to reducing suicide risk. Developed by Brown and Stanley, the SPI has been widely implemented in clinical, emergency, and community settings. Drawing on clinical expertise and empirical data, the presentation will cover the rationale, structure, and implementation of the safety plan, as well as common challenges and adaptations for diverse populations. Attendees will gain practical tools for integrating safety planning into routine clinical care to enhance patient safety and promote recovery.

Dr. Gregory Brown is a nationally and internationally recognized expert in suicide
prevention, with over four decades of experience in clinical psychology. He holds
a BS in Psychology from Denison University, an MS in Clinical Psychology from the
University of Bridgeport, and a PhD in Clinical Psychology from Vanderbilt University.
Many psychologists now incorporate telehealth into their daily work, which has introduced new considerations for providing supervision to trainees—both in terms of how to appropriately deliver supervision via telehealth and how to train supervisees in the unique ethical challenges of using telehealth with clients. This workshop will focus on strategies for providing supervision around telehealth in a manner that is ethical, legally sound, and clinically in the patient’s best interest. Drawing from professional guidelines and the latest empirical research, the presenter will offer practical, evidence-based guidelines to inform best practices.
Molly Cowan, PsyD
Dr. Molly Cowan serves as Director of Professional Affairs for the Pennsylvania Psychological
Association (PPA). She previously served on the PPA Board of Directors and is a past
chair of the PPA Ethics Committee.

All PCOM clinical supervisors and faculty are invited to attend. Please pass on this invitation to others at your agency who directly supervise our students in approved practicums/externships or internships.
