Clinical Practice Policy

• Students engaged in any form of clinical practice (e.g., individual or group counseling) must be enrolled in a counseling psychology practicum course (EDPS 61400 or EDPS 614B-will be EDPS 62400). Faculty have the right to place restrictions on students to insure that they are adequately supervised at their practicum sites and that their clinical practice does not go beyond their expertise.
  
• Students may not engage in any form of clinical practice until the beginning of their second year in the doctoral program.
  
• Students enrolled in EDPS 61400 or EDPS 614B (will be EDPS 62400)practicum courses are required to carry professional liability insurance. Purdue University has coverage available for those engaged in clinical practice within a practicum. Students can find further information about Purdue's liability insurance in the Purdue Counseling and Guidance Center manual. Students are required to provide a copy of their insurance documentation to their practicum instructors.
