Are you an aspiring Board Certified Behavior Analyst or interested in becoming a Supervising Clinician? Well, then, we have some exciting news for you! Centria now offers a comprehensive practicum experience that will help you reach your career goals!
Centria has developed an extensive program known as Foundations for Clinical Excellence. This program is crafted to support you throughout an 18-month journey, guiding you as you complete your graduate degree in behavior analysis and your supervised fieldwork experience.
Foundations for Clinical Excellence was created with a clear purpose: to equip ABA students with in-depth knowledge and strong practical skills. Our goal is to ensure that you can make a significant positive impact in the field of ABA.
Centria's Practicum Program
Foundations for Clinical Excellence instills students with a strong commitment to exceptional client care, with a curriculum that directly aligns with Centria's Clinical Values and Foundations of Care. This ensures that when students exit the program they have the know-how to provide clients with compassionate, assent-based, and effective treatment.
This practicum experience is divided into 3 levels, providing a scaffolded approach to learning and practicing the skills needed to become a BCBA.
- Student level: foundational skills introduce students to the philosophical underpinnings of applied behavior analysis and the behavioral systems approach to human development.
- Associate level: intermediate skills are taught that support the students' understanding of how complex human behavior is developed and can be improved, when needed.
- Consultant level: advanced skills and embedded opportunities give students the chance to design, implement and evaluate behavior change programs.
All levels include opportunities to apply the principles of behavior to Centria's treatment model, providing a deeper understanding of proprietary CareConnect technology and how it's used to plan, perform, analyze, and modify client treatment plans.
Mentorship & Support
An essential part of the students' success within our practicum program is their access to quality and diverse mentorship experiences. Not only will the students' immediate supervisors support them in the field but students will also have the opportunity to work with other supervisors from across the organization, all with varying types of ABA experience.
To support collaboration and comradery, every student in the program belongs to a cohort and has the opportunity to develop strong partnerships with other students. The cohort model provides our students with a sense of community and connection that is pivotal to everyone's success.
We encourage you to invest in yourself and join us in pursuing your career dreams through the Foundations for Clinical Excellence practicum program! If you are interested in enrolling in Foundations for Clinical Excellence, reach out to our recruitment team via abarecruiting@centriahealthcare.com.
