The MST Supervisor Orientation equips supervisors with the knowledge, skills, and practical tools needed to effectively lead clinical supervision, support clinician development, ensure quality improvement, and sustain strong community partnerships within MST programs.  The training consists of 4 knowledge base components and is supplemented with a series of individual initial supervisor development calls with the supervisor’s MST expert: 

1. Supervisor Orientation Introduction Call with the MST Expert 

2. Independent Self-Paced eLearning Modules specific to the MST Supervisor job domains  

3. An experiential training in a group setting to practice and receive feedback related to job tasks and responsibilities  

4. Supervisor Orientation Conclusion Call with the MST Expert 

 

Registration

The supervisor’s orientation training will begin immediately upon registration. The first two components of the training will occur between the MST expert and the MST supervisor providing instruction and immediate engagement in eLearning modules. To register for training, please click on the Online Registration Sites tab for training locations and dates available for the experiential component. Select an experiential training date that provides the supervisor with at least 4-6 weeks to complete their eLearning modules.

In addition, all registrants must be registered on the MST Institute (MSTI) website, registered on the MST Site Directory with access to the Supervisor Development Resource and Provider Program Development Resource pages, and must be pre-approved to attend the training from their MST Expert prior to registering.
