Collaborating with all other APA entities. CCTC toolkit developed for sites that wish to start internships. Mentor program continues for helping develop internships. APPIC at 2008 meeting on shortage of internships started this process and did a survey. Div 42 said they had expertise in ABPP members and they are volunteering to supervise in agencies that need supervision in order to qualify for internship. New application improvements are developed for internship process. Phase 2 of match [instead of clearinghouse] is in process now. Unknown outcome at present New things on APPIC website: Match statistics and data. Available in April. # of applications 14/7 to 15.1 and got 6.4 interviews. 8% were second timers last yr. 78% female applicants. Mean debt was $78,000. One third reported over $100,000 debt ! Students think they need lots of HOURS. Training directors want other things: essays, cover letters, experience, etc. Next year is annual APPIC conference in March/April. May be NO, Austin, San Antonio, Tempe AZ.
Kathy Grus - APA Education Directorate Newly formed working group, “education and training for health service psychologists” Collaboration among various APA groups in order to address quality of training that should position psychologists to practice in the healthcare marketplace. i.e. When is best time to take the exam for licensing? Are there prereq competencies prior to admission into doctoral programs? Competencies Benchmarks Document update: As Bob Hatcher pointed out, two bigs: Ways to make document more user friendly – revisions using 15 core competencies grouped into 6 to make it less unwieldy. Also wording of behavioral examples was examined and language made more operational. AND Developing an online evaluation system hosted on the APA website. DCT’s can access and customize eval form for your program. i.e. Look only at levels relevant to your needs, also which competency cluster do you want to use. They will put behavioral examples in. And a research component will be built in. This will be launched in MAY 2011. ALSO HRSA grant program for underserved service programs. Modest at 3 million. Funded 20 programs last year. This is still in the fed budget ! Also, soliciting for nominations for award and cash to recognize contributions to professional psychology

We have a lot of new members this year. N=175 currently. Membership year runs Sept to August. Dues need to be paid. TEPP year goes Jan to Dec. Hmmmm…. Ok, if you join by Dec, you get full year of TEPP. Website: Maintained by KS, but needs webmaster, Ryan, to work on complex problems. But he isn’t always available. Proposing that we hire a dedicated webmaster Lee brings up archiving system on listserv. Very helpful, but could use a “table of contents” of what is archived. KS says somebody could do it, like a professional or a dedicated member.
