1.5 Hours of Category I CE credit Thursday, November 6th, 2025, 8:00-9:30 am ET
Program Description: Training and Technology: Considerations for Clinical Training and Supervision
This presentation will explore the potential benefits and challenges specific to clinical training and supervision related to the use of technological tools. Participants will be given an overview of considerations to review in clinical training related to technological practice, primarily artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning, as well as other considerations, such as social media and telehealth. We will examine the ethical considerations inherent in adopting these technologies, including issues of privacy, clinician autonomy, and issues related to supervision, as well as developmental approaches to incorporating technological tools into clinical training. With the novelty of AI in clinical training, the presentation will provide an overview of best practices and current research, address practical barriers, such as the costs of implementation and the need for specialized training for both faculty and students, and address risks inherent in the use of AI in training and practice. This will include a review of current guidelines outlined by the American Psychological Association regarding AI. Participants will be presented with a decision-making model that may be applied to review ethical and other considerations when determining when and how to incorporate technological tools into their clinical training for assessment and treatment.
Learning Objectives:
By completing this program, participants will be able to:
identify and compare different technological tools, including AI, that may be utilized in clinical practice, training, and supervision.
apply a decision-making framework to evaluate ethical considerations when utilizing and training others to utilize technological tools.
analyze benefits and risks of the use of technological tools in practice and will be able to apply this analysis into their student supervision and training.
