Faculty/Staff Position: Clinic Supervisor (CS) of MTTI’s Student Clinic
The MTTI Clinic Supervisor (CS) is paid to be available in the event that students, who will be doing their Internship Practicum massages, may need their assistance, help or guidance and is rented a therapy room in order to conduct a private practice. The CS will supervise the students managing the clinic for proper telephone answering skills, customer service skills, setting appointments, taking payments, doing SOAP notes, cleaning up work areas after massages, etc. The CS will be responsible for each end-of-day tabulation of MTTI “rental” charges for the massages conducted at the Student Clinic. The CS will be responsible for reviewing, on a random basis and until judged satisfactory each student’s SOAP notes giving them feedback as to quality and content. Initially, at the beginning of each class Practicum, the CS may be called upon to answer questions that students have which are usually of the nature of contraindications. However, it has been the school’s experience that after the first week of two, it is rare that students seek out the CS for help or guidance and the bulk of time can be devoted to seeing their private clientele.
Educational Requirements: The New Mexico Massage Therapy Board (MTB) requires that supervisors of Clinical Practicums be Registered Massage Therapy Instructors (RMTI). This requires that an individual (1) be willing to take 50 in-service training hours and (2) have had their license as a Licensed Massage Therapist (LMT) for no less than two years. MTTI provides this 50 hours of training at no cost to the person that might be hired for the CS position in the event that they are not currently registered as an RMTI.
