4. Case Conceptualisation
5. Intervention^
6. Individual and Cultural Diversity
7. Psychological Testing^
8. Relational and Communication
9. Professionalism
10. Ethical Practice
11. Scientist Practitioner
12. Reflective Practitioner
13. Interprofessional Learning and Practice^

* Supervisors select one out of the two domains to be assessed
^ Optional domains
