Abstract
INTRODUCTION: Clinical supervision is a foundational experience for novice behavioral health clinicians (BHCs), with the provision of high-quality supervision in the integrated primary care (IPC) context being imperative. While the literature highlights skills, knowledge, and considerations for supervisors in these settings, less is known about the supervision needs of novice BHCs.
METHOD: This article presents the findings of a classical Delphi study with a panel of 12 novice BHCs who have received supervision in an IPC setting.
RESULTS: The Delphi panelists achieved statistical consensus on 68 statements across nine themes, highlighting a wide range of supervisory needs of novice BHCs in IPC settings.
DISCUSSION: This study expands upon the existing literature on supervision in IPC settings by indicating the various needs of novice BHCs receiving supervision in IPC. Implications for the planning, implementation, and evaluation of supervision in IPC settings are discussed. (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2025 APA, all rights reserved).
