After being put out for a 60-day period of public comment in the Fall of 2020, the CoA voted to approve changes to public disclosure data Implementing Regulations (IRs) C-26 D, C-27 I, and C-23 P. The revisions to the CoA’s Implementing Regulations (IRs) related to the disclosure of program information are comprised of the addition of an inquiry across all three levels of training (i.e., doctoral, internship, and postdoctoral residency). This inquiry addresses whether an accredited program or its host institution require trainees and faculty/staff to comply with specific policies that express mission and values outside those of which are to be expected for education and training in health service psychology.
Additionally, after being put out for a 75-day period of public comment in the Spring of 2021, the CoA voted to approved changes to substantive change Implementing Regulations (IRs) C-27 D, C-24 I, and C-20 P. These revisions outline notifications of changes to accredited programs at the doctoral, doctoral internship and postdoctoral residency levels of education and training. Specifically, the revisions to these IRs provide clarification on the actions the CoA can take if the review of a program’s changes raise questions about its continued consistency with the SoA.
