Adolescent Growth Spurt
Section VII recently experienced an adolescent growth spurt. Triggering this growth spurt was a questionnaire sent to internship training directors that identified training sites that offered some training in clinical crises and emergencies (Kleespies, Spiegelman, & DeBrule, 2002).
This training is directly relevant to our mission. Further, these sites are providing this training for many interns. So, the Section 7 Executive Committee voted to offer training directors at these sites one year’s free membership. We hope that they will invite other staff and interns to join – they have much to offer.
