When client care has to come first, supervision can get stuck in triage mode. This post explores how simulation-based practice can move foundational skill-building outside the supervision hour, creating more space for clinical reasoning, mentorship, and deeper learning.
Intake sessions require interns to juggle rapport, assessment, documentation, ethics, and diagnosis all at once. While practice is essential, traditional roleplays and case studies rarely capture the complexity of real clinical work.
