7. To learn and refine clinical substance abuse techniques through significant interactions with the
field supervisor(s) and agency personnel.
8. To provide quality service in assigned tasks.
9. To handle the material, information, and records involved in agency work in a professional and
responsible manner.
10. To submit mid-placement and final evaluations (Appendixes D and E), and time log and
checklist (Appendices F and G) to the SPADA field practicum coordinator. The mid-
placement evaluation is due prior to any mid-placement conference. The final evaluation and
time log are due one week before the last day of the semester in which field practicum is
completed.
11. To participate in a mid-placement interview and evaluation with the SPADA field practicum
coordinator and site supervisor(s), if one is required.
In order for the student to receive a grade for field practicum in any semester or session, the student
must submit a time log documenting completion of 360 hours of field experience, including direct
client contact hours. The learning contract, two evaluations, time log and checklist must be submitted
by the appropriate deadlines in order for the field practicum coordinator to submit a grade; otherwise,
the student will be issued an incomplete.
Occasionally, problems do develop during the course of the field experience. These problem areas
typically take the form of conflict with the site supervisor, conflict with the training organization’s
policies, or problems related to client contact. Students should attempt to resolve any conflicts within
the field site agency; however, if a resolution of the problem cannot be satisfactorily achieved, the
student and/or site supervisor should contact the SPADA field practicum coordinator.
We in SPADA sincerely hope that both the agency and trainee will find the field practicum experience
mutually beneficial and rewarding.
