Abstract
This session will focus on providing information and guidance about a series of critical processes and documents for doctoral internships that are seeking APA accreditation or are already APA-accredited. Specifically, the session will focus on the connection between internship evaluation forms, the APA’s profession-wide competencies, and required proximal outcome data. The session will seek to assist programs in the alignment of their internship evaluation forms with the profession-wide competencies in a manner that reflects training provided by/at the program along with the competencies that must also be demonstrated in the APA accreditation self-study.
Learning Objectives
Attendees will be able to:
- Explain how internship evaluation forms should align with profession-wide competencies
- Assess the extent to which an evaluation form does or does not allow a program the ability to collect necessary proximal data
- Discuss and apply expectations for internship proximal data
- Compile information from evaluation forms that will satisfy data requirements
