SPS Opportunities FAQ

  • Thank you for considering joining our team!

    We believe training is a developmental process, and our approach reflects that belief. All trainees and early-career clinicians are supported through a structured, scaffolded model of growth:

    • Start with less complex cases and clearly defined roles

    • Gradually progress to more complex clinical presentations and differential diagnostic work

    • Receive intentional, developmentally appropriate supervision at each stage

    • Build confidence, autonomy, and clinical judgment over time

  • Supervision is central to everything we do:

    • Early stages may include structured supervision, such as:

      • Direct observation

      • Video review

      • Guided feedback and modeling

    • As competence increases, supervision becomes less directive, allowing for:
