Blended/Hybrid InternationalCourse on MITI 4.2.1

(Motivational Interviewing Treatment Integrity) Coding Training

Dates: May 18,2017 through June 22, 2017

Thursdays, 6-7:30 pm CST

Trainer: Jacqueline Elder, PsyD, CADC

Cost: $275.00

Program:Hybrid/blended course that will meet on Google Hangouts once per week for 90 minutes. In between Hangout sessions, the learner is expected to complete the weekly goals, including reading and coding. A shared Excel sheet will be provided for learners to put their numbers for their homework. There will be second Hangout session if we have learners that are international and need different Hangout times. All Hangout sessions are recorded and posted on course so that any missed sessions can be made up by listening to that week’s Hangoutcall or joining the second Hangout call (should we need one.)

This Hybrid/Blended/International COURSE focuses on the review of the MITI 4.2.1 Manual, beginning with the Global Ratings and on to the work of learning how to parse, and recognize utterances and the Behavior Counts. Short practice audio sessions with un-coded transcripts are initially used, and by the 2nd week, we will be learning full pass coding in 5 minute increments of the 20 minutes full pass audio. Full pass means there is no transcripts use, and the learner is developing their “eagle ear” without a transcript will begin.

Weekly workload will include reading the Manual, and practicing the MITI 4.2.1 with the practice audio sessions. Learners will be expected to listen to and code at least 4 practice audios every week.

When the Hangout sessions occur, we review the 4 sessions done on the learners’ time and take questions. We will then listen to and code at least 2s audio sessions that are exactly 20 minutes in length. This is done in real time on the Hangout session.

Learners are encouraged to make practice sessions or real clinical audio sessions (with signed Consent which can be provided) and those can be the 20-minute session we code in real time. Heads up: it takes a great deal of courage to allow your session to be listened to and coded and I highly encourage it! The more we are willing to allow others to hear and code our week, the better coders and practitioners we become.
