Special Series: Reenvisioning Clinical Science Training

This forum made possible through the generous support of SDN members, donors, and sponsors. Thank you.
I used to cringe at this group’s subtle (and sometimes not so subtle) disdain for the practitioner part, but I think they have either softened on this, or are just articulating themselves much better as their thinking/training model evolves. I now have to agree with much of this given the changing nature of healthcare and the way psychologists are getting squeezed by mid-levels.

I still have to wonder where they think the market is for this though. I just dont see much of it. 95% of the job postings I see for clinical psychs are either academic or traditional service delivery that consisits of the old tride and true combo of assessement and therapy.

I suppose their arguement is that we have to be the ones to push and create it. I dig it, but not sure how well it can work without the infrastructure to support it.

Probably this. Perhaps it's something that many psychologists could begin pushing for either in their existing jobs, or when interviewing for new ones. It won't start showing up in job postings until enough other people know that we can actually do these sorts of things
