Evaluation of Competence in Internship

Evidence of Competence

All my field work hours were documented and compiled as weekly timesheets. This ensured that I did not miss out on any crucial detail in my internship. Documentation also helped me to discuss and reflect on all my caseloads because as I tracked all my professional activities, I was able to note most ethical considerations and personal and professional growth. My commitment to continuous learning and adherence to organizational rules gave my mentors and colleagues an ease time when collaborating on tasks.

The institution had a reflection meeting on every month that addressed all pending issues and laid out expectations for the weeks ahead. I had weekly supervision sessions that helped me to gauge myself and make necessary adjustments that align to my personal and professional growth. Discussions with the Field Educator covered topics such as handling challenging cases, navigating ethical considerations, and addressing personal biases.
