60 provides students with the necessary materials to record their sessions. Students may NOT use their own DVDs and/or flash drives for recording sessions and all recordings must remain at BTI, on the premises, to ensure confidentiality. Viewing rooms are available at BTI for students to review their own work; they may not view another student’s work without his or her prior written consent submitted to the BTI Clinic Office Manager for final approval. If students wish to show a recorded session in a class, or use them for their Clinical Portfolio requirements, they may sign out for a specified amount of time. This must be coordinated through the BTI Clinic Office Manager to ensure proper authorization. At no time is case information to be taken off campus nor downloaded onto personal computers/flash drives . If students wish to write about a case seen at BTI and have obtained proper approval, they may schedule times to transcribe materials in the editing suite coordinated through the Clinic Office Manager. No identifying client information can appear on transcripts or written materials or be shared with others. If students wish to show a recorded session to a professional audience outside of NSU, they must either have written consent or re-contact the clients seen on the recording and explain their request to present the case, when and where and for what purpose. The student must have each adult client sign a release, Authorization for Use or Disclosure of Information for Educational and Related Purposes, in advance of the presentation along with approval from the Clinic Director. DVDs and the use of portable hard drives are supplied to students. All DVDs and/or hard drives assigned during a student’s time at BTI must be stored at BTI. The Practicum Supervisor at the end of each practicum session returns all related information to BTI for placement in locked storage. DVDs or any client recordings or information are not allowed off BTI premises. Annual Review As part of the graduation requirements, students must have an annual review at the end of each of the first 3 years. This annual review will consist of an evaluation of the student’s academic progress, clinical progress, student’s professional and ethical conduct, and level of attainment of the program’s student learning outcomes. The Annual Review is also utilized for collection of feedback from students about the program, support services by the institution, as well as the Program Director. This review is conducted in a manner needed for each individual student such as, but not limited to, a meeting with a faculty committee, program director, or via email. Students must register for the Annual Review during the summer of each of the first 3 years. Portfolios and Evaluations As a requirement for completing the Ph.D. program in family therapy, a student must submit for faculty evaluation two separate performance based portfolios which are considered capstone experiences. Each of these portfolios is designed to help assess how students met various aspects of the program’s learning objectives and outcomes. The portfolio requirements are also designed to help students become better able to present their work in professional contexts, such as seeking employment and academic exchange. Each of the two portfolios and their requirements are described in detail below. The two components of the Portfolio process are: 1. Clinical Portfolio 2. Academic/Research Portfolio
