What does the DClinPsy program value about peer feedback?

The DClinPsy program values peer feedback primarily because it facilitates learning and introduces diverse clinical perspectives. Engaging with peers allows students to share insights, experiences, and approaches in clinical practice, which enhances their understanding and skill development. This collaborative learning environment is vital in psychology training as it encourages critical reflection on one's own practice through the lens of others' experiences, leading to richer learning outcomes.

In this context, peer feedback is not about competitive evaluations; rather, it underscores teamwork and collective growth. It also does not isolate individual clinical practice but promotes interconnected learning. Furthermore, while acknowledging personal biases can be a part of feedback, it is not the primary value of peer interactions within the program. Instead, the focus is on the constructive exchange of ideas and perspectives that enhance professional development and enrich clinical understanding.
