CONFERENCES: Detailed APA Division 20 Program for the 2009 Toronto Convention
Wednesday, June 17, 2009
CONFERENCES: Div 20 APA conference information
APA 2009 Division 20 Program Blurb for Newsletter-June Version
Please join your Division 20 colleagues at the APA convention in Toronto, which will take place August 6-9th. In addition to the presidential address (Dr. Elizabeth Zelinski –Saturday August 8th 3:00 to 3:50 pm) and the Baltes address (David Hultsch - Friday August 7th 3:00 to 3:50 pm), four outstanding scientists will be giving invited addresses covering topics illustrating the breadth of interests within Division 20. We also have six symposia presentations, with one co-sponsored by Division 55 (American Society for the Advancement of Pharmacotherapy) and one co-sponsored by Division 21 (Applied Experimental and Engineering Psychology).
The Division 20 Social Event will take place on Friday August 7th at a Toronto Blue Jays baseball game (7 pm). This will allow more interaction among Division 20 colleagues and graduate students than a traditional restaurant setting would permit—and it is more inexpensive than many Toronto restaurants. The cost is $20 (US) per ticket. To obtain this special rate, we need to purchase at least 50 tickets, and preferably over 100. Please send in your requests and checks by June 30, 2009 to Philip Allen, Department of Psychology, University of Akron, Akron, Ohio 44325-4301 (this covers the ticket price but not food such as hot dogs or soda). We hope to see you in Toronto on August 7th at the game!
Helena Chui and Kevin Petway, Division 20’s graduate student representatives, have secured Dr. Michael Gilewski (a Division 20 fellow who practices in neuropsychological rehabilitation and who is also involved in multisite applied research) as the guest speaker for the Graduate Student Conversation Hour on Friday August 7th from 5-5:50 pm
We hope to see you in Toronto in August! ---Phil Allen and Becky Allen (Division 20 Program co-chairs).

INFO: Eldercare Workforce Alliance National Call-in Day
On Tuesday, June 23 (between 9 am – 6 pm, ET), APA will join other members of the Eldercare Workforce Alliance (EWA), in a National Call-in Day to send a clear message to Congress: A Strong Eldercare Workforce is Essential to Real Health Reform.
Toward the end of next week, prior to Call-in day, we will send out another message with logistical information, including an 800# (that will connect to a voice-activated system), call-in instructions, and a sample script.
This effort is targeted to Representatives on the House Ways & Means, Energy & Commerce, and Education & Labor committees. We will be urging Congress to include the following measures in health reform:
à Increase the federal match for all long-term care services funded under Medicaid, which will give states incentives to increase these vital services.
à Expand the Geriatrics Health Professions Education and Training Programs under Titles VII and VIII of the Public Health Service Act to increase the supply of essential healthcare professionals.
à Extend greater federal minimum wage and overtime protection under the Fair Labor Standards Act to 1,500,000 home care workers.
à Provide loan forgiveness for professional training in geriatric care.
à Support appropriate care coordination services under Medicare and Medicaid.
à Provide training and support for direct-care workers and family caregivers.
We are very excited to be part of this collaborative effort to bring attention to this issue and I hope that you will join us in making our voices heard!

Each applicant must submit a summary of no more than 1,000 words regarding their work with an underserved population that must include a description of the student's work with this population, the status of the underserved population and number served, nature of psychological services/work done and its impact on addressing the needs of the identified population. In addition, nominees are expected to identify why the group they have worked with is considered underserved. Applicants must also submit a curriculum vita, a letter of support from a member of APA and, in the instance of a self-nomination, verification that the endorser will serve the role and complete the functions of a nominator.
The nominator/endorser will be expected to prepare the text for the award citation, attend the APA Annual Convention (at his or her own expense), serve as chair of the winner's award address, introduce the award recipient and prepare the written introduction for any APA publications wishing to publicize the award.

INFO: Gero competencies survey
Dear Geropsychology colleague:
We are writing to ask if want to participate in an on-line survey that examines the utility and validity of the Pikes Peak Geropsychology Knowledge and Skill Assessment Tool. Please read on.
The Council of Geropsychology Training Programs (CoPGTP) developed this tool to help clinical supervisors evaluate the development of geropsychology competencies in their students, and for psychologists and students to use for self-evaluation of their training needs in the field. We are eager to learn more about the properties of the assessment tool and to get feedback from geropsychologists and geropsychology students on your impressions of its value. Survey results will be used to inform possible revisions of the assessment tool, as well as to help inform training needs within our field.
If you are a psychologist (or post-doctoral psychology fellow) who provides direct clinical care, consultation, and/or supervision of care to older adults as part of your professional practice, OR if you are a clinical/counseling graduate student who has had geropsychology training at graduate school or internship levels (e.g., classwork, practicum, research training), we invite your participation in this survey.
If you volunteer to participate, you will:
-Link to the “Survey Monkey” on-line survey tool through the link that is pasted below
-Read an Informed Consent form and, if you agree to continue:
-Complete a series of questions about your demographic and professional/training background (estimated time: 5-8 minutes)
-Complete the Pikes Peak Geropsychology Knowledge and Skill Assessment Tool, which will ask you to reflect on your own development of competence in various domains of professional geropsychology competency (estimated time: 45-50 minutes)
-Complete a brief series of questions about your feedback on the tool (estimate time: 3-5 minutes)
Participation in this study therefore requires a time commitment of approximately one hour. We hope that taking part in the study may be professionally worthwhile, by assisting with the validation of this important instrument, reflecting on your professional development in the field, and perhaps identifying areas where you might wish to seek further training. Survey responses are anonymous, and Survey Monkey surveys are secured by firewall and intrusion prevention technology. This study has been reviewed and approved by the R&D/IRB committees at the
If you choose to participate, you may find it helpful to download a pdf version of the Pikes Peak Geropsychology Knowledge and Skill Assessment Tool, to follow along and see the entire tool while completing one question at a time on the on-line survey. You can access the tool at:
http://www.uccs.edu/~cpgtp/Pikes%2520Peak%2520Evaluation%2520Tool%25201.1.pdf. Even if you choose not to participate in this survey, we welcome you to download and use this tool in your practice or training program.
To participate in the survey, please click on the link below to begin: http://www.surveymonkey.com/s.aspx?sm=6bXUBq_2b224N6AvlnWGKvGg_3d_3d

The Faculty of Graduate Studies (FGS) of the University of Colombo, Sri Lanka, would like to invite a US Scholar to teach in its Clinical Psychology Masters program through the Fulbright scholar program for the academic year 2010-2011. The University of Colombo, a metropolitan university, is situated in the heart of Colombo, Sri Lanka. Hence, it provides easy access to a wide range of cultural, entertainment and business activities. The University has seven faculties, 41 departments, a campus, a school, six institutes and several centers and units.
Many undergraduate and post graduate programs are offered by the University. The Masters in Clinical Psychology program of the FGS was established in 2008 and is the first-ever post graduate course in Clinical Psychology in the country.
