Time2Track Question

Does anyone know if every assessment given must be associated with an activity, or if we can just list the total number of each assessment given under the Assessment tab?

For example, suppose I gave 50 WAIS IVs. Do I need to list each one with that particular activity (so each one on the 50 separate dates), or if I can just list it one time and then change the number given to 50?

When I look at the AAPI view, it does not appear to matter, but someone recently mentioned it was a "red flag" if someone's integrated reports simply included MMSEs and BDIs or something, and I am wondering how the internship reviewers could even tell... .

I hope this makes sense! Thank you!

You used to be able to just list the total number, but I believe with the new system it has to be associated with an activity. However, if you had previously listed them as not associated with an activity (using the old system), you can still edit the totals and change them.

Edit: Oh, you're asking if you have to list each one you administered on the day you gave it. Sorry, I'm not sure how internships feel about that. But like I said, T2T used to not even have the ability to associate specific administrations with specific activities and dates.

thanks, Cara!

It let me list all 50 of them for one date, but I am worried it will look weird to internship sites. I just didn't want to list the ~7 assessments I gave ~50 different times, so I put them all in one day and then changed the number to 50.

Anyone else know?

You'll need to re-enter the information into the AAPI (unless there's an import option with T2T; I never used it, so I'm not sure). Regardless. unless it's changed, the AAPI doesn't require you to list the dates of each individual test you've administered. You simply record the numbers of each that you've given in a clinical context (e.g., not as part of an assessment class).

Thus, it's pretty much an honor system (although your DCT will need to sign off on your final application). However, it would certainly look suspicious if a person says they've written 50 integrated reports, but their administered measures and assessment hours sections don't support this (or jive with each other).

Well, these tests weren't part of a class or for integrated reports. They were just assessments I did.

To list the name of an assessment you have given, you first have to add it on a day you have given it. What I am saying is that I added the assessments on the first day I gave them, but then changed the number to 50, to reflect the amount of times I have given them in total. I did that instead of adding the name of each of the assessments on 50 separate dates.

You cannot just go to the assessment tab and insert the number of assessments you have given. At least one of each different assessment must be associated with an activity.

Does anyone else know what I am talking about?

As for integrated reports, I will likely have about 50 by the time I apply, but how will internship sites even know which assessments are a part of each integrated report? I don't see a place to record that. I only see where we record the total number of integrated reports.

They won't; it's up for you to determine how many integrated reports you've written, then your DCT signs off and the sites essentially take your word for it.

My take is this: it's more important to know how many of each test you've administered (and how many hours you've spent on assessments and therapy/intervention) than it is when they were given, as the former is all that's recorded on the AAPI. And after internship, you likely won't need to know any of that information again (other than perhaps for a postdoc application or two).

Sorry I can't be of more help regarding your specific question. I would think what you've done seems like a viable solution, as it records the number of assessments you administered. The only issue I could see popping up would be if your program actually uses T2T to verify your AAPI and/or progress through the program.

Thanks!

The reason I brought up the integrated reports question is because someone said it is a "red flag" when applicants' integrated reports consist only of tests like MMSEs and BDIs...and I just don't see how anyone would know what someone's integrated reports include, besides the one they submit.

It'd mostly be something along the lines of a person saying they'd administered only a handful of measures outside the BDI and MMSE, for example, but reporting that they'd also written an extraordinarily large number of integrated reports.

As with many other things in this field, it ultimately comes down to an honor code of sorts.

That makes sense. I have been fortunate in the assessment domain, so I don't have to worry about that. Thanks for your help!
