 Psychoeducation internships in Québec: An overview of practices and challenges 
Practicum experiences such as internships are at the heart of university programs in psychoeducation. This article provides an overview of the current practices, challenges and issues related to internships and their supervision. To do so, public information on Quebec university websites and documents related to internship training produced by the Ordre des psychoéducateurs et psychoéducatrices du Québec were first analyzed. The views of individuals responsible for internships in four of the six training units were then gathered through virtual interviews; some also provided materials such as an internship guide. Drawing on professional and scientific literature and these various sources, the following themes are addressed: 1) description of baccalaureate and master’s level internships; 2) roles and responsibilities of university supervisors and field supervisors; 3) supervision, including pedagogical and assessment methods; 4) issues and challenges of internships and supervision, including special needs students; and finally, 5) recommendations and future research ideas. The portrait of internships in psychoeducation is characterized by many similarities between the different programs, particularly with regard to the conditions of the master’s level internship, pedagogical and assessment practices, and the challenges encountered, the differences being mainly in the conditions of the undergraduate internship. Practice-based work experience, invested by dynamic and committed actors, is not without its challenges. Future research will allow for a deeper understanding of this fundamental axis of professionalization programs in psychoeducation in order to identify long-term courses of action.
