This position is responsible for the supervision of clinical assessment and treatment of Speech-Language Pathology graduate student clinicians, in addition
to the provision of direct assessment and treatment of clinical clients (during semester breaks and/or other times during the work week, as assigned when
students are not present). Direct services will be relayed via telepractice or in person in the UNT Speech and Hearing Center, based on each clients'
needs. It is expected that direct services will reflect state of the art, evidence-based clinical practices. Supervision of graduate student clinicians is

towards achieving evidence-based standards of clinical practice. The supervisor is responsible for guiding and mentoring clinical students in their
development of assessment and treatment abilities, clinical paperwork and reporting, and implementation of state of the art, evidence-based assessment
and treatment practices. The supervisor independently plans and carries out clinical assignments, resolves conflicts, coordinates student activities and
clinical expectations, and stays informed about clinical policy. The supervisor maintains close contact with, and keeps clinic director informed of
programmatic progress, potential clinical issues, student issues, and other issues of relevance for the UNT Speech and Hearing Center.
