Abstract
A peer group model of supervision is presented as an alternative to the conventional one-on-one model of clinical supervision. A modified version of Dowling’s (1979)  Teaching Clinic is described as a model whose format appears to exemplify the tenets of the clinical supervisory model (Anderson, 1988; Cogan, 1973) through the promotion of collegiality and the development of self-supervisory skills among the participating clinicians. The Modified Teaching Clinic (MTC) addresses issues of group process, fosters the advancement of clinicians along a continuum of supervision, and facilitates professional growth and development. Although peer group supervision is frequently used in the growth and development of professionals in other fields such as counseling, there are currently no models that have been described for the continued development of speech-language pathologists and audiologists in various service delivery settings. The need for continued professional interaction and peer group supervision is addressed by the MTC via its applicability in various clinical settings.
