This course provides a comprehensive exploration of clinical supervision that transcends jurisdictional boundaries. It is designed to equip supervisors with a portable and adaptable skill set grounded in the foundational principles of ethical practice, cultural humility, and effective supervisory techniques. The goal is to elevate the standard of clinical oversight and foster the development of competent, confident, and ethical practitioners. Many clinical supervisors lack a unified, non-state-specific framework rooted in universal best practices, which can lead to inconsistent supervision quality and varied readiness for licensure candidates. This course addresses the need for standardized training to ensure all supervisors can effectively address complex ethical dilemmas and apply evidence-based models, regardless of their jurisdiction.

In recent years, it has become generally accepted that supervision draws upon knowledge and skills that are different than, and go beyond, those of psychotherapy. Similarly, the ethics and legal imperatives regarding supervision both encompass psychotherapy issues and go beyond them. Because supervision is a triadic rather than a dyadic relationship, the supervisor must always attend to the need for balance between the counseling needs of clients and the training needs of the counselor. This course focuses on legal and ethical issues of supervision with emphasis on the triadic relationship.

By the year 2030, half of the U.S. population will be obese (CDC.gov). Ironically, as rates of obesity have risen, so have the rates of weight bias and stigmatization toward individuals of larger body sizes, even within healthcare settings and among healthcare professionals, including physical therapists (Bannuru, 2025; Lawrence, 2021). Such stigma can result in both physical and psychological harm to patients, and it presents a major obstacle in the effort to effectively prevent and treat obesity (Rubino, 2025; Rubino, 2020; Ryan, 2024; Robinson, 2024). Research indicates that these stigmatizing attitudes stem from two main causes: a lack of education and the incorrect belief that obesity is purely a function of eating too much and exercising too little. Obesity is a complex, multifaceted condition driven by diverse biological pathways and numerous environmental factors. The aim of this course is to demystify a physiological process that has long provoked confusion and shame. This course will help physical therapists better understand what causes weight gain, why it is so difficult to lose weight, and why it is especially difficult to keep it off. This course will address a range of weight loss interventions, including pharmacotherapy such as GLP-1 receptor agonists, bariatric surgery, diet, behavioral therapy, and physical activity. An emphasis is placed on the importance of maintaining muscle mass through dietary protein and strength training to minimize the change in energy expenditure with weight loss, as well as strategies to preserve muscle mass while on GLP-1 receptor agonist therapy. Finally, it will address what physical therapists can do to reduce weight bias and stigma in their own practices.

The use of the Internet and the devices that empower it such as smartphones and computers have become an important part of most people's daily lives, especially those of young people. The recent widespread use of the Internet has led to an increasingly large number of people developing powerful media-based addictions that barely existed during the twentieth century. Internet and smartphone addiction have similar symptoms to drug addiction and can be just as disruptive and disabling. Internet addiction has been shown to play a major role in the recent surge in loneliness to unprecedented high levels in Americans. The U. S. Surgeon General has described the loneliness epidemic as a devastating threat to public health. Internet addiction and loneliness are now having disruptive impacts on the professional and private lives of many health and mental health practitioners. The INR Webinar "Internet Addiction and Loneliness" is designed to inform health and mental health practitioners about the nature and extent of Internet addiction and loneliness and the strong connection between them. Internet and smartphone use are changing how brains develop and process information and one of the consequences is high levels of addiction. The webinar will describe the nature of addiction and how behavioral addictions like Internet addiction resemble drug addiction but have become much more widespread, especially among young people. The various types of Internet-related addictions will be described, including several evidence-based treatment interventions and why there is a strong connection to loneliness.
