Closed captioning is provided with this program

Nearly every psychologist in a training setting has had experiences with trainees with problems of professional competence (TPPC). Yet stress, confusion, and questions regarding ethical and legal risk surround the process. This intermediate workshop directly addresses the identification, assessment, and remediation of TPPC in training settings, with specific guidance on ethics, legal issues, and multicultural considerations.  Original webcast date: August 3, 2020.

Learning Objectives

  1. Identify key components of effective remediation plans, and practice creating behavioral remediation plans based on TPPC vignettes.
  2. Apply major legal, ethical, and multicultural considerations when identifying, assessing, and remediating TPPC.
  3. Identify situations in which remediation may not be possible and describe the “counseling out” process and dismissal options.
