CCIDPIP and CCTC Updates

[Aaron Gubi]

Dear CCIDPIP Colleagues,

Hope everyone is well!

Some updates regarding our CCIDPIP workshop and opportunities to provide valuable and needed service through CCTC

Please see below regarding our upcoming workshop in January. We are hopeful everyone can attend, but we are planning to record (and share) the workshop if folks can not make it. Also, shared below are a few opportunities to get involved with CCTC working groups (pertaining to an update on the internship reference form, and two sub-groups related to DEI work).

Please reach out with any questions or thoughts...........

1) CCIDPIP Workshop on the APA accreditation process as it pertains to C-I doctoral programs in professional psychology.

This one is ours! Based on prior discussions we are working to put together a workshop on the accreditation/re-accreditation process specifically as it pertains to C-I doctoral programs.

Please complete the short Google Form that follows (as soon as you can) so that we can best plan for this event in January.

2)  CCTC Standard Reference Form workgroup

CCTC is looking to update and revise the Standard Reference form that is used with the APPIC/APA internship application process. They are looking for colleagues to join. If you would like to be a part of this working group, please contact Andrea Zartman by 11/26/2021

3) CCTC Social Responsiveness working groups

See below for details regarding two working groups pertaining to social responsiveness/DEI work within professional psychology. Contact information, deadlines to apply and additional details are contained below:

We are still in need of members for both the Advisory Group and respective Steering Committees related to the CCTC Social Responsiveness in Health Service Psychology Education and Training Toolkit Implementation Task Force. We believe the toolkit created from the CCTC Social Responsiveness Conference is a wonderful resource with the potential to really make a meaningful impact in our field.  Our next action is to ensure this truly becomes a widespread resource and living document.

As a reminder, the new toolkit can be found by:

• Going to CCTC web page and clicking on toolkit link (front and center): https://www.cctcpsychology.org/
• Going directly to toolkit here: CCTC 2020: Social Responsiveness in Health Service Psychology Education and Training Toolkit (netdna-ssl.com)

To that end we are recruiting for two different groups:

1. CCTC Social Responsiveness Advisory Group

This group will be composed of 11 individuals (9 Point of Contacts + chair and vice chair of CCTC). It is preferable for these individuals to have participated in the development of the toolkit through the CCTC conference. Each point of contact will be in charge of a separate steering committee focused on furthering the implementation of their designated area. The advisory group will meet quarterly through virtual conference for informative and collaboration purposes.

There are 9 areas of emphasis but the following are the positions still open:

·         Revisiting our program structures with increased shared governance

·         Decolonizing and transforming curriculum across all levels of training

·         Research/scholarship

·         Socially responsive ethics and professionalism

·         Socially responsive evaluation processes for students, faculty, and supervisors

 

 

2. CCTC Social Responsiveness Steering Committees:

 

These committees will be led by the Advisory Group Member for each respective area. We are hoping to have at least 5 members for each subcommittee. The purpose of each of these committees will be to distribute and expand the resources within their designated area. The plan is to recruit widely for these work-groups. As such, interested participants do NOT need to have participated in the initial CCTC conference to self-nominate. The frequency of meetings will be determined by each steering committee as a whole once formed but is not expected to meet more than once a month unless otherwise indicated.

 

·         Diversifying the HSP pipeline

·         Revisiting our program structures with increased shared governance

·         Decolonizing and transforming curriculum across all levels of training

·         Research/scholarship

·         Socially responsive ethics and professionalism

·         Social justice and advocacy

·         Community engagement

·         Socially responsive evaluation processes for students, faculty, and supervisors

·         Lifelong learning

 

 For your self-nomination, please:           

1. Designate whether you are interested in the Advisory Group or Steering Committee
2. Indicate which area of emphasis you would like to be considered for (you can state 1-2 options)
3. Include a current CV and a brief paragraph describing your experience/interest in the emphasis area.
4. Send your self-nominations to andrea....@va.gov and Sharon...@childrensmn.org

 

Deadline is December 31^st (but we will be reviewing applications/offering positions on a rolling basis).

We hope to have our first Advisory Group Meeting in January 2022 with the Steering Groups starting shortly after that.

 

If you’re feeling passionate about the importance of diversity, inclusion, and social responsiveness we strongly encourage you to consider self-nominating for one of these groups.
