Course Framework (see table at bottom for complete schedule)
- Initial Training Retreat – Therapists will travel to Boston for 4 days of initial training in QST Friday-Monday October 13-16, 2017. Training will run from 8:00 am-5:00 pm each day. Distance supervision will continue through March 201.
- Clinical Supervision – Therapists will videotape a minimum of three selected QST treatments over four months and review videotapes and progress notes with their supervising therapist. Most therapists find that distance supervision works well for them. Occasionally a therapist has found that their learning style is not a good match for distance supervision. In-person supervision is normally unavailable, unless a therapist and supervisor happen to live near each other. Therapists who are not able to master the treatment with distance supervision will not be able to successfully complete the course and graduate.
- Group Conference Calls – Therapists will discuss their case studies via Skype on two different occasions at the half-way and end points of the treatment (Dec 3, 2017 and Feb 4, 2018).
Training Fees and Expenses:
- Course registration fee – $1995. The course fee includes all distance clinical supervision. After you submit your registration form and are approved, the instructor will provide payment information.
- Retreat housing and meals fee – Therapists will be responsible for making their own housing reservations near Boston University Medical Center and covering these costs. There is a cafeteria in the medical center where students can purchase meals.
- Transportation – Therapists will need to make arrangements for and cover all their own transportation expenses (including airfare and ground transportation) to and from the training retreat.
