Not sure if I am interpreting this correctly, but I assume you are referring to the training director role. I don't know if this is affected as much. I am not in that role, but do help out with training and increased my role in our training program in recent years as I was no longer traveling as much since the pandemic. This included helping to setup internship interviews, teaching more of the intern/post-doc weekly seminars on various topics, reviewing internship applications annually, supervising some assessment cases, etc. There are really no clinical offsets for this stuff, I just like the work and had the time. This year, based on national mandates, they are putting the screws to the specialty areas in addition to general psychology. As a result, we were given higher productivity expectations in some areas. I picked up some overflow from another clinic to make my numbers. Due to this, many staff members are pushing back on helping in these additional areas. I will not be volunteering to set up interviews in the future and cut back on the seminars I teach. A colleague who did help setup interviews (read: did most of it) and does teach alot as well was under the 80% mark that month for productivity and has to make it up another month. That person is thinking of backing out of their committee role next year too. Not sure if this is what Fred is referring to, but I hear a lot of the same grumblings.
