The Application Process
Marriage/Family and Psychology Students
Masters level Marriage/Family and Psychology students send their resumes and/or vitas with letters of interest between January 1 and February 28. Interviews will take place in late February or early March, depending on the number of resumes received.
Doctoral level students send their resumes and/or vitas in from December 1 to January 31 with interviews occurring in mid February. Interviews are usually with Relate's Director of Clinical Services and the
senior staff member who will supervise the student. Under most circumstances, candidates will be notified of acceptance within one or two weeks of the interview.
Social Work Students
Supervisory staff from Relate will attend the University of Minnesota and Augsburg's “Field Fair” in April where students can submit Resumes and Vitas with letters of interest. Resumes and Vitas with letters of interest from other schools (e.g. St. Catherine/St. Thomas, Bethel etc.) will be accepted at the same time. Selected candidates will be invited to interview at the end of April or early May. Interviews are usually with Relate's Director of Clinical Services and the senior staff member who will supervise the student. The Universities do the final matching. Candidates and Relate are usually notified at the end of May or early June.
Orientation
Students selected for the programs meet initially with Relate's Director of Clinical Services. The Director will orient the student to Relate's clinical policies and procedures and other important factors pertinent to their student/clinical role. This orientation includes but is not limited to:
- Mission and Vision Statements
- Rule 29 minimum treatment, quality and staffing standards
- HIPAA of 1996 overview and summary
- Model of Relate Clinical Chart
- All clinical forms used in dispatching services
- Current clinical policies and procedures
Next, the student and Director of Clinical Services or designate set the student's clinical schedule matching his or her needs with Relate's. The final step is for the student to set an appointment with the specific clinical supervisor who will conduct the majority of supervision during the student's tenure. This initial training session takes between 2 and 3 hours.
When a student meets with their clinical supervisor for the first time, they will review their schedule, setting up times for clinical supervision consult teams and Student Supervision Group. They will also set up the student's initial clinical intakes.
