Among other things, these include focussed training, rehearsal, observation and feedback on either live or recorded performance, refresher training and expert tutoring

Supervisory Training

Supervisory training for clinical psychologists is often a pre-requisite for practitioners taking on their first graduate trainee and for seasoned practitioners who require refresher training as evidence for continuing professional development. This case study outlines some supervisory models available within the literature and discusses a blended learning model of supervisor training specifically tailored for seasoned clinical psychology supervisors – with the deliverable being an online course to supplement a face-to-face delivery of supervisory training. In managing the work, a project management methodology is journeyed through, and covers the main context of the case, the e-strategy employed, an overview of the technology used, and the content of both the online and face-to-face components. Success factors surrounding the processes used are discussed, and implications of transition phases are outlined. In implementing an online component of blended learning, such information may support other project managers who may wish to benefit from and replicate any of the processes and tools used.

Fourty-two village animal health workers called keymen (KM) and 84 veterinary assistants (VA) involved in a Basic Animal Health Service (BAHS) Programme in northern Malawi were interviewed during 1998. The general characteristics and perceptions of both groups were analysed using uni- and multivariate techniques. Detailed sales and treatment patterns of six KMand 12 VAwere evaluated for the period September 1996 to August 1997. Results indicated an overall job-satisfaction for 82 % of KM and 83 % of VA. Estimated weekly involvement in livestock service delivery, particularly of KM, was 3.7 days on average. Total annual drug sales of KM and VA between 1996 and 1997 on average were equivalent to US$ 124 and US$ 218 respectively. Most livestock remedies were issued for treatment of calves, followed by adult cattle, chickens and small ruminants. The changes suggested by VA and KM in order to improve field performance focused on regular refresher training by the BAHS programme.
