Abstract
The role of practicum training in educating professional psychologists has come increasingly into focus following the American Psychological Association (APA) Council of Representatives' resolution to count practicum experience for licensure in the model licensure law ( ). Effective practicum training depends on good administration to realize its full educational potential as part of the graduate curriculum in professional psychology. This article reports the results of a survey of APA accredited Clinical, Counseling, School, and Combined and Integrated programs regarding their practicum policies and procedures ( = 195). Basic policies are implemented by most programs; identified competence goals, individual student practicum plans, and other potentially useful policies and procedures are evident in some programs. The authors recommend careful review of graduate program policies and procedures to enhance full integration of practicum into the educational process.Preview Only.
