Upcoming Accreditation Workshops
The following accreditation workshops have been scheduled to take place
during the spring and summer of 2007. Site visitor workshops are
open to those interested in becoming new site visitors, as well as to
any experienced site visitors. The Committee recommends that active
site visitors attend this workshop every five years in order to stay current
with accreditation issues. Participants receive 7.5 CE credits for
this workshop, and the Office of Accreditation pays the CE credit fees
for each of the participants in these full-day workshops.
There is especially a need in the site visitor pool for generalists
(psychologists in areas other than clinical, counseling, and school),
as well as those familiar with state hospitals, community mental health
centers, federal correctional facilities, VA medical centers, and postdoctoral
residency programs.
Workshops on “How to Write a Self-Study” are open to anyone
interested in learning more about the Accreditation Guidelines and
Principles and may be especially helpful to those who will be submitting
self-studies for their programs in the near future. There are no
CE credits offered for this workshop.
If you are an experienced site visitor, the CoA would like to offer you
the option of attending a Site Visitor Chair Workshop. This half-day
training for current site visitors is not required but will answer questions
pertaining to the responsibilities involved in being the chair of a site
visit team. The workshop provides guidance on writing the site visit
report and dealing with issues that arise when chairing a site visit team. There
are no CE credits offered for this workshop.
There is no cost to participants for attending any of these workshops. To
obtain further details on registration and criteria for becoming a site
visitor, contact Kristen Thompson at (202) 336-5995 or email.
