Preparing students to work with families: undergraduate and graduate education.
This article focuses on the preparation of undergraduate and graduate students in Human Communication Sciences and Disorders, for provision of services that involve families. The author discusses the identification of a family-oriented clinical model, the identification of the prerequisites needed for students' entry into clinical training in the family-oriented model, the prerequisites that students need to develop for independent clinical practice, and the management of common challenges faced by students as they participate in the family-oriented model. Evaluation forms are provided to assist the supervisor in the preparation of student clinicians.
