Program Requirements: Annual Review, Clinical Portfolio and Applied Clinical Project As a requirement for completing the D.M.F.T. program, students prepare and submit a Clinical Portfolio that includes a written and video presentation of their clinical and supervision work at the end of their second year. The portfolio requirement is also designed to help students become better able to present their work in professional contexts, such as seeking employment and academic exchange. And, at the end of a student’s third year, a paper and presentation of their Applied Clinical Project is required. Each requirement is intended to address major training and academic goals of the program and the student’s progress throughout their program. This review process represents a stepping stone experience for students as they prepare to undertake their Applied Clinical Project work. Successful completion of each component indicates that the student is able to plan, undertake, and complete increasingly sophisticated projects, requiring independence of both thought and motivation. Each of these components and their requirements are described in detail below.  Annual Review (summer after each year)  Clinical Portfolio  Applied Clinical Project (third year) 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 advisor, program director, or via email. Students must register for the Annual Review during the summer of each of the first 3 years.
