Poster Session & Social Hour
Telepsychology has been utilized in clinical and training practices for a decade. The COVID-19 pandemic led to increased utilization of telepsychology without a framework for providing formal training to advanced level trainees. The American Psychological Association (APA) Commission on Accreditation (CoA) has recently provided accredited programs with revised regulations for Telesupervision. APA has not yet provided guidance regarding best practices for psychology internship and postdoctoral f...
The 2020-21 training year faced unprecedented traumatic events – the COVID-19 pandemic and the murders of George Floyd, and in our region, that of Daniel Prude. The first initiated remote interviews and increased social isolation; the second ignited racial justice protests and highlighted inequities in healthcare and other institutional forms of oppression. Our program met the moment in several ways that are now sustained and continue to evolve. Our first initiative was the formation of a traini...
Objective: Formal evaluations are routine for internship training; however, little research has detailed the quantity and quality of feedback being given to trainees to promote their clinical and professional growth. As part of a quality improvement initiative to improve training in our department, we assessed the content of feedback supervisors are giving interns across evaluation periods. Results will be used to design interventions to improve intern feedback. Method: De-identified supervis...

Many trainees have benefited from greater exposure to coursework and learning related to the importance of cultural context and humility within their psychology practice. This can lead to knowledge gaps between more veteran faculty, who may have had less exposure to DEI content in their graduate education, and students...
One of the few certainties in life is knowing that change is a constant factor. In internship training, a transition in Training Directors can have a significant impact on the interns, supervisors and program. If this transition goes smoothly and is well planned, the impacts can be minimal and positive. However, when the transition is abrupt and disorganized, negative impacts can occur and be detrimental across a program. Interns can develop mistrust for the system if the change is unexpected. M...
The Nebraska Internship Consortium in Professional Psychology (NICPP) was founded with a mission to provide psychology interns with intensive professional training experiences within the context of a scientist-practitioner model. NICPP specializes in training professional psychologists with child, adolescent, college student, and family interests and comprises seven cooperating agencies located in various cities in urban, suburban, rural, and frontier areas throughout Nebraska.
