INFO: 10 for 20

Dear Division 20 Member,

Your APA apportionment ballot will soon be arriving. The number of seats our Division has on the Council of Representatives depends directly on your apportionment votes. We currently have 2 council representatives, who advocate on our behalf for aging-related issues at Council. We can only keep these seats if we have enough votes through the apportionment ballot and the competition for these votes among the divisions is fierce so we must constantly stay on top of the voting to keep our voices heard.

Please return your apportionment ballot to APA and give as many of your 10 votes as you can (all 10 if possible!) to Division 20.

Thanks!

Susan

STUDENTS: Graduate Study at Virginia Tech

The Department of Human Development at Virginia Tech invites applications for master’s and doctoral study in adult development and aging. Financial support is available. Details and contact information follow.

Program Emphasis

The doctoral program in Adult Development and Aging prepares professionals for participation in academic, research, governmental, and private organizations. Students complete coursework that includes developmental theories, developmental research methods, development across the adult years at the individual and family levels of analysis, health, and advanced statistical analysis.

Pending sufficient qualifications, students with a master’s degree are admitted directly into the Ph.D. program. Students with a bachelor’s degree are admitted to the doctoral track and complete an M.S. degree en route to the Ph.D. Successful completion of a comprehensive exam and a master’s thesis prepare students for doctoral-level study, which includes advanced course work, research experiences, a preliminary exam, and dissertation research.

Students opting for a master’s degree in human development complete a research- and theory-based program that focuses on human services delivery systems and development of advanced professional intervention and management skills. As part of this program, students may include support courses in Adult Development and Aging and complete their practicum in an agency serving adults.

Collaboration and Publication

Research questions examined by the Adult Development and Aging faculty are grounded in compelling theory and employ rigorous analytic techniques. This research is published in top-tier and well-established scholarly journals including Journal of Gerontology: Psychological Sciences, Journal of Gerontology: Social Sciences, The Gerontologist, Journal of Marriage and Family, Family Relations, Journal of Health and Social Behavior, Personality and Individual Differences, Journal of Women and Aging, Ageing International, and Journal of Applied Gerontology. Faculty members encourage students to participate actively in research and in the dissemination of research findings, often as co-presenters at scholarly conferences and co-authors of publications. Students in the program collaborate in collecting data, coding human behaviors, analyzing data, and preparing reports of the results. Please visit the faculty members’ individual pages to see recent publications.

INFO: APA and Promoting Team Care Symposium

I wanted everyone to update everyone on our (APA) involvement in follow up activities related to the up to the IOM report, which as you know, pretty much overlooked psychologists as providers of older adult healthcare. First, regarding the specific symposium that Merla Arnold sent an earlier email about, I had asked Bob Knight to attend this event on geropsychology's behalf. He did and spoke with David Reuben, the chair of the event and a member off IOM Workforce panel about the absence of psychology in the report. He also distributed CDs of our Integrated Health Care for an Aging Population report (http://www.apa.org/pi/aging/blueprint_report.pdf).

To back up a bit, when the IOM was first establishing their project work group, Norman Anderson and then president, Sharon Stephens Brehm had asked for geropsychology to be represented and for mental and behavioral health issues to be included in their deliberations. This didn’t happen (mental health did get some minimal coverage). After the report was released, Norman sent another letter to the IOM in response to the omission of psychologists and their contributions. If anyone is interested in seeing the letter or its attachment which summarizes APA efforts related to geriatric workforce issues, I can send it along.

Probably most significant, as the report is a done deal, is that APA is currently a member of the National Workforce Alliance to Care for an Aging America. The Alliance is a follow-up venture to the IOM Report. Its plan is to work to implement or refine the recommendations made by the IOM Task Force. Its mission is to assure a sufficient and competent workforce to meet the current and burgeoning demand to care for older adults. APA has been represented by myself, Diane Elmore (Senior Legislative and Federal Affairs Officer in the Public Interest Government Relations Office), and Catherine Grus, Associate Executive Director, Professional Education and Training of the Education Directorate. It takes a lot of work (and stamina) advocating on psychology’s behalf, for example, just getting folks to insert the word “psychologist” into documents and priorities that list other health professions is sometimes challenging, but we ARE at the table and continue to advocate for psychology’s inclusion. So, we’ll see…Diane Elmore has also been working with AAGP and NASW to advocate for funding for another IOM report on the geriatric mental health workforce.

I hope that if other symposia such as this one occur, we can count on your involvement. So, as Merla says, we do have a lot of work to do – but at least we have started. Debbie

Hello Division 20 Students,

The Science Directorate is currently accepting applications to the APA Science Student Council (APASSC). Formed in 1993, the APASSC is a diverse group of research-oriented psychology graduate students who serve as an advisory group to the APA Science Directorate. The Council represents the interests of research-oriented students by providing valuable advice to the Directorate on how it can best serve the science student population. The Council has been actively involved in a number of projects, including awarding prizes for graduate-level research, organizing student programs for the APA Convention and making recommendations on the Directorate's student programs. The Council reports to the Board of Scientific Affairs and works cooperatively with the American Psychological Association of Graduate Students.

The Directorate is seeking applications from second or third year doctoral students, or first year doctoral students with a master's degree in psychology, to serve a two-year term for the 2009 and 2010 calendar years, during which time they must be actively engaged in their programs. Council members are required to attend two weekend meetings per year during the term in Washington, DC, at APA's expense. In addition, council members are expected to remain available during an unofficial third (non-meeting) year to advise new members.
