In this "capstone" course students explore the many facets of what it means to be a professional clinical psychologist. Emphasis is placed on the psychologist's scope of practice and considers the specific advocacy approaches which psychologists may use to ensure that their full scope of practice is utilized. Opportunities and challenges associated with working collaboratively with other health professionals within various systems of practice are explored. Students consider the concept of Practice-based Evidence (PBE), namely the application of client-focused research into routine treatment and routine settings, and its relevance to research knowledge and routine practice. Specific professional issues related to the development of, and engagement in, both public setting practice and private practice, are considered. Approaches for integrating an appreciation of cultural and individual diversities, and of ethical decision making practices, across psychology practice are explored. 07-09-2022-07-12-2022 Lecture Wednesday 09:30AM - 12:20PM, Memorial Hall, Room 104
