University Graduate Department of Clinical Psychology Internship Consortium operates under the auspices of the GFU Graduate Department of Clinical Psychology (GDCP), which offers a PsyD degree in clinical psychology accredited by the American Psychological Association’s Commission on Accreditation. The GDCP mission is: To provide excellent education and training for future clinical psychologists who will provide outstanding professional services to their clients and agencies, and demonstrate special expertise when working with clients desiring a spiritual dimension, especially that characteristic of the Christian community. The spiritual mission of the GDCP—deeply rooted in GFU’s Quaker identity— operates from a position of respect for all people, commitment to understanding and celebrating human diversity, and adherence to prevailing ethical standards articulated by the American Psychological Association (APA). The doctoral internship program was initiated in 2011 and became a member of APPIC the same year. It was developed in recognition of the GDCP’s strategic role in innovative models of professional practice, especially those involving integrated services in primary care settings and short-term psychotherapy interventions. In addition to providing training for a cohort of interns each year, the internship contributes to workforce development for integrated healthcare. Nationally, there is a shortage of trained psychologists functioning as behaviorists in the primary care medical setting. The internship participates in the Association of Psychology Postdoctoral and Internship Centers (APPIC) Match. Preference is given to applicants completing their doctoral work at George Fox University. The GDCP doctoral internship program provides training for assessing and treating a wide range of psychological problems, including mood and anxiety disorders, co-occurring disorders, trauma, eating disorders and other behavioral health conditions. Interns receive training at the George Fox Behavioral Health Clinic (GFBHC) located in Newberg, Oregon, as well as medical clinics, operated by Providence Medical Group, located in Portland, Oregon and the Virginia Garcia Memorial Health Centers (VG), located in various locations in Yamhill and Washington Counties. The goal of the internship is to equip interns to be generalist clinicians with competence in behavioral health integration, which will be developed during the interns’ major training in primary care psychology. The focus of trainings for the year are in the areas of Scientific Knowledge and methods, Individual and Cultural Diversity, Interdisciplinary systems, Clinical Intervention, and Supervision. Didactic trainings in all 5 of these focus areas and supervision 4 duties will take place in at the GFBHC. Application of the clinical skills will take place onsite at the various Primary Care clinics that are part of our consortium. Intern Weekly Schedule All interns will spend 4 days per week (Tuesday through Friday) in the primary care setting of the internship consortium, with each intern placed at a different primary care clinic. All clinics are located in the Portland Metropolitan area or in Yamhill County. Interns spend approximately 32 hours per week at their respective sites providing Behavioral Health Consultation and other activities as directed by the clinic Behaviorists. These Behaviorists are all licensed psychologists who are full-time employees of their respective clinics. The Virginia Garcia/Providence psychologist/behaviorist provides a minimum of 2 hour of individual supervision for the interns in addition to observation, role-modeling and mentoring. The interns will participate in the therapy/assessment training and supervision activities 1 day per week (Monday) at the George Fox Behavioral Health Clinic. George Fox Behavioral Health Clinic (GFBHC) The George Fox Behavioral Health Clinic (GFBHC) is a minimal-cost mental health clinic designed to provide services to the uninsured and underinsured citizens of Yamhill County and the surrounding area. It is located in the semi-rural community of Newberg, Oregon. The GFBHC offers services to those with chronic as well as acute mental health issues, typically ages 6 and older. Therapy is short-term with focus on addressing current problems in the clients’ lives and helping them plan for the future using time-limited therapy techniques. Treatment is provided in the form of individual, couple, family, or group therapy. The GFBHC also offers a variety of psychological assessments for a variety of concerns. Interns spend one day each week at the GFBHC which includes 4 hours (minimum) of supervision and training activities. George Fox University (GFU) George Fox is Oregon's nationally recognized Christian university, providing students with personal attention, global opportunities to learn and serve, and a supportive community that encourages academic rigor and spiritual growth. George Fox University offers bachelor’s degrees in more than 40 majors, adult degree programs, five seminary degrees, and 12 master’s and doctoral degrees. George Fox is accredited by the Northwest Commission on Colleges and Universities, and has grown rapidly in the last two decades - both in reputation and facilities. U.S. News & World Report for 19 years has named George Fox "One of America's Best Colleges". In 2010-11 Forbes ranked George Fox in the top 150 colleges in America and among the nation's top Christian colleges. In 2005, George Fox ranked in the top tier in the category of Best Universities Master's, West Region. National recognition has also come from the John Templeton Foundation, which selected George Fox as one of 100 in its Honor Roll of Character-Building Colleges. GFU strives to prepare students spiritually, 5 academically, and professionally to think with clarity, act with integrity, and serve with passion. More than 3,400 students attend classes on the university’s residential campus in Newberg, at its Portland and Salem centers, and at other teaching sites in Oregon. The Doctor of Psychology (PsyD) program follows a professional (practitionerscholar) model and is designed to prepare licensed, professional psychologists. The professional model is distinguished from the scientist-practitioner model leading to the PhD. While the PsyD degree provides training in the scientific foundations of psychology and in research methods and statistics, it places greater emphasis on the development of clinical skills. Since the initial endorsement of the doctor of psychology degree by the American Psychological Association in 1979, the professional model has been incorporated into the training programs of many universities and professional schools. The Graduate Department of Clinical Psychology (GDCP) of George Fox University is fully accredited by the American Psychological Association. Providence Medical Group (PMG) Providence Medical Group is a division of Providence Health and Services in Oregon, a not-for-profit network of hospitals, health plans, physicians, clinics, home health services and affiliated health services. As part of the greater Providence Health and Services (PHS), which functions in Alaska, Washington, Oregon, Montana and California, PHS has a tradition of caring that the Sisters of Providence began more than 150 years ago. PHS strives to “reveal God’s love for all, especially the poor and vulnerable, through compassionate service”. The core values of PHS are Respect, Compassion, Justice, Excellence and Stewardship. There are 70 primary care clinics and 550 providers within the PMG system. The Providence clinics are in the process of implementing the Medical Home model of primary care, which includes the integration of behavioral health services provided by licensed psychologists. PMG has supported a training relationship with the GFU GDCP in their primary care clinics and regional hospital located in the Newberg service area, over the past several years. This has included practicum training for GDCP students, an Emergency Department consultation service staffed by GDCP faculty and students, and an ongoing professional alliance with the GDCP Department Chair, Dr. Mary Peterson. One intern is placed at each of three Providence Medical Group clinics within the Portland-Metropolitan area. Interns spend 32 hours per week in the primary care role, which includes direct service provision for patients from a wide demographic and diagnostic range, opportunities for case consultation, observation of psychologists and primary care physicians and professional mentoring by supervising psychologists. The supervising psychologist is a faculty member at George Fox University. The Providence psychologist provides a minimum of 2 hours of individual supervision for the interns each week. Each PMG Intern will rotate to a second clinic midway through the year to expand the intern’s learning opportunities and allow the intern to work with different staff members and 6 populations. Not every Providence Clinic has an on site behaviorist (yet) and the on-site supervisor (Dr. Casillas) will travel to interns at their clinic to conduct supervision and observe the intern performing their duties. Dr. Casillas also has access to all medical records via the integrated medical record system. Dr. Casillas can be contacted by phone, email or messaging system at any time of the business day. Should she not be available, Dr. Kristie Knows His Gun can be reached by phone as a back-up. Also, while Dr. Casillas is the official on-site supervisor, many clinics do have one or more licensed psychologists in the building. Each clinic also has a large staff of medical and behavioral health providers that includes: physicians, medical assistants, physician’s assistants, licensed social workers, coordinated care counselors and nurses. These staff are also available to help interns with issues that may arise. Virginia Garcia Medical Centers (VG) From website: “Virginia Garcia provides healthcare services to more than 35,000 patients a year in Washington and Yamhill Counties at our four primary care clinics and pharmacies, three dental offices, and three school-based health centers. We also provide outreach to schools, community health fairs and to migrant and seasonal farmworkers at local camps and commercial nurseries through our mobile clinic. Virginia Garcia focuses on providing a medical home for our patients – that is, we provide delivery of preventive primary health care for the whole family. Our focus is on getting our patients well and keeping them healthy by providing education and a strong rapport with providers. Physicians, nurse practitioners, physician assistants, nurses, case managers, behavioral therapists and medical assistants make up the core medical team.” The VG intern will cover the 2 Yamhill County clinics of Newberg and McMinnville. They will spend 1 day in Newberg and 3 days in McMinnville unless there is an advantage for training for the intern to be at one of the clinics more or less. The intern will spend 32 hours per week in the primary care role, which includes direct service provision for patients from a wide demographic and diagnostic range, opportunities for case consultation, observation of psychologists and primary care physicians and professional mentoring by supervising psychologists. The supervising psychologist is a faculty member at George Fox University. The VG psychologist provides a minimum of 2 hours of individual supervision for the interns each week. Location George Fox University is situated in the heart of the Willamette Valley, 23 miles south of Portland which is Oregon’s largest city and cultural center. Newberg is a semi-rural community of approximately 20,000 residents. Portland is Oregon’s largest city, with a population nearing 600,000. Portland is a progressive city with a variety of museums, coffee shops, Saturday Market, the Waterfront, and the Portland Trailblazers (see http://www.portlandonline.com/). Mount Hood is approximately one hour east of Portland, offering a variety of winter sports. The Oregon coast is a 75-minute drive west of Newberg. The state of Oregon 7 features 96,981 square miles of diverse terrain such as the Columbia River Gorge, the Cascade Mountain Range and high-desert country. Facilities The Behavioral Health Clinic operates in a renovated facility that shares a parking lot with the GFU Villa Academic Center, where the GDCP is located. The close proximity to the GDCP allows for frequent interaction with faculty and students in the doctoral program. Interns share office space in the BHC. The Providence Medical Group and Virginia Garcia clinics have developed an integrated care model where providers share exam rooms and a limited number of offices for behaviorists and interns. Consultation and short-term therapy services are provided in exam rooms or offices, depending on office needs and staffing patterns determined at the time of service. Training Model and Program Philosophy The Graduate Department of Clinical Psychology (GDCP) provides professional training following a practitioner-scholar model (sometimes referred to as the professional or Vail model). Like the doctoral curriculum, the internship is designed to promote the Competency Model of Training promulgated by the National Council of Schools and Programs of Professional Psychology (NCSPP). Those successfully completing the internship should know and exemplify high standards of legal, ethical, and professional conduct. They should be able to provide a wide variety of clinical services, including assessment and psychotherapy, with individuals of many ages and from diverse ethnic, cultural, religious, and social backgrounds. The GDCP doctoral program in clinical psychology is accredited by the APA’s Commission on Accreditation. While the doctoral internship is not yet accredited, we are striving towards that goal and our accreditation status is listed as “under review”. We are currently members in the Association of Psychology Postdoctoral and Internship Centers (APPIC) directory, and follow all APPIC guidelines. The GDCP faculty and administration at George Fox University believe that as psychologists, our responsibility is to help people understand the benefits and limitations of psychological interventions. Related goals are to promote understanding of psychology within the Christian community, and the importance of religious and spiritual issues within psychology. Graduates should be able to work effectively with Christian ministry professionals as well as those in other human sectarian and nonsectarian service professions. The GDCP is a member of the National Council of Schools and Programs of Professional Psychology (NCSPP). This organization has been instrumental in articulating those areas in which practicing psychologists should show competency. The GDCP ascribes to the NCSPP competency model, and so 8 works to promote competency in the following eight areas. • • • • • • • • Establishing therapeutic relationships Employing effective psychotherapeutic interventions Demonstrating expertise in psychological assessment instruments Demonstrating knowledge and skills in consultation and education Demonstrating knowledge and skills in providing clinical supervision and practice management Understanding the importance of all forms of diversity in psychological practice Demonstrating knowledge and skills to analyze and conduct applied research including program evaluation Demonstrating knowledge and skills important for consultation and continuing educational growth. In addition to these general practice guidelines, the George Fox University internship seeks to foster specific competencies in the professional areas most relevant to Integrated Behavioral Health care. The following section lists these competencies in detail.

Minimum Thresholds for Achievement for Expected Competencies: Within each objective, the intern is expected to achieve mastery of all competencies and must achieve a score of at least 3 by the end of the year. If any competencies are at a 2 or less at the mid-year evaluation, the intern and Training Director will create a remediation plan to improve these skills. If any competencies are below 3 at the end of the year then the intern will fail the internship. 12 Professional Focus Areas In addition to our five areas of competency (which are the major focus of the internship) interns may choose among 4 Professional Focus Areas. These areas are optional, but encouraged, and should be discussed with supervisors and approved by the Training Director before starting. 1. The Parenting/Family Focus Area may involve family therapy work, including use of Play Therapy room and co-leading the parenting skills course for struggling parents. 2. The Assessment Focus Area involves a focus on test administration, interpretation, and reporting, including but not limited to IQ testing, ADHD assessment, dementia screening, academic/learning disability assessments and neuropsychological testing. 3. The Group Therapy Focus Area requires leading a minimum of one therapy group. This may include the development of a group program incorporating target audience issues and needs. Group therapy materials have been purchased or developed by students and are available for use. 4. The Program Development Focus Area allows interns to develop clinical materials and/or to serve as consultants for program development purposes. Specific activities will be based on program needs and interns’ areas of interest and expertise. Interns are encouraged to discuss specific opportunities that may arise at their clinical placements. Program development activities should be coordinated through the internship Training Director. Estimated Weekly Schedule In a typical week, interns work from 8:00 am to 5:00 pm on Tuesday through Friday at their assigned PMG/VG primary care clinic. Mondays are spent at the Newberg campus. Monday is a training and preparation day, including BHC group supervision and didactics. An approximation of an intern's weekly training activities is shown below. Training activities remain on the established four-day schedule. Didactics, individual and group supervision as well as involvement in supervision (when interns who are supervised by the Training Director will supervise practicum students) will occur on Monday at the Newberg campus. The use of unscheduled time will vary among interns according to their focus areas. The Internship at George Fox University includes two major roles with Providence Medical Group (PMG) or Virginia Garcia Medical Center (VG), and the George Fox Behavioral Health Clinic (BHC). 13 Sample Weekly Schedule Monday Tuesday GFU-BHC Providence /VG Clinic 1 hr.

A partially affiliated internship is an internship in which a portion of the interns admitted are students from a specific accredited doctoral program. Equally qualified students from George Fox University are ranked above similarly qualified applicants from other programs. However, a more qualified applicant from any program will be ranked above a less qualified George Fox University Applicant. The Internship Committee establishes policies and procedures for the doctoral Internship. The Committee consists of: the Internship Training Director (who serves as the committee chair), the on-site supervisor from Providence Medical Group, The on-site supervisor from Virginia Garcia Memorial Health Centers, and the GDCP Department Chairperson. Committee meetings may also include relevant psychologists and administrators from any of the consortium programs, based on the focus of that meeting. The Internship Training Director manages daily operations and routine decisions pertaining to the internship, including didactic seminars, scheduling, and personnel matters. The Internship Committee oversees programmatic issues, including policies, goals of training, ongoing self-study, review of interns’ 14 progress, interviews of potential interns, and intern ranking. Application for Internship The internship participates in the APPIC Match and exists primarily as a training resource for GDCP students. However, applications are accepted from students enrolled in other doctoral programs and we have accepted students from other programs almost every year. Statement of Non-Discrimination As with GDCP admissions procedures, every effort is made to ensure diversity in selected trainees. Selections are non-discriminatory on the basis of age, gender, gender identity, race, ethnicity, culture, national origin, sexual orientation, disability, and socioeconomic status. As a Footnote 4 institution, the GDCP may show preference regarding religion. Consistent with the training mission, we seek interns who identify with and understand Christianity. For payroll and accessibility needs, Interns must be listed as temporary employees of George Fox University and must complete the necessary employee paperwork. This includes a Community Lifestyle Statement : (Found online here: http://www.georgefox.edu/offices/hr/lifestyle-statement.html ) While the statement is lengthy (please read it) the intern is only asked to affirm the following statements: Am I actively pursuing the highest call of God on my life even if that means giving up a personal "freedom" for the sake of others within the community? As a member of the George Fox community, do I recognize my duty and responsibility to others within our Christ-centered community? Am I a faithful steward of the resources which God has entrusted to me? Do I discipline my mind and body to serve as instruments of God? Application Procedures Applications should be submitted through the AAPI Online process administered by APPIC. Details are available at the APPIC website (www.appic.org). No supplemental applications materials are required beyond the AAPI Online requirements. Interviews are conducted in person for Match 1, and by telephone or Skype for Match 2 (unless the candidate is local and able to attend an inperson interview). All applications are screened by members of the Internship Committee. Committee members conduct interviews and provide recommendations to the Internship Training Director for APPIC match rankings. The Training Director makes the final ranking decisions and submits them to the National Matching 15 Service. Once interns are matched to the site, an email (or letter) of agreement is sent to selected interns within 48 hours. This letter includes information about start and end dates, internship salary, contact information for the Training Director, and other relevant information about the internship. The internship abides by all APPIC guidelines and requirements. Requirements for Selection An applicant must have completed three years of study in a regionally accredited, degree-granting clinical or counseling psychology doctoral program in the United States by the time the internship is scheduled to begin. The applicant’s program must be APA-accredited or demonstrate equivalence by the student having successfully completed supervised practicum experiences and graduate coursework in individual intelligence assessment, personality assessment, personality theory, psychotherapy or counseling theory, and research/statistical analysis. To be considered, applicants must be verified as ready to apply for internship by the Director of Training of his or her graduate program, as listed in Part II of the APPIC application form. Start and End Dates The internship begins on August 8, 2016 and ends on August 4, 2016. Salary, Benefits, and Administrative Support Interns receive a salary of $22,000 annually. In addition, interns are eligible for 4 weeks of sick and vacation leave. The GDCP maintains an extensive library of psychological testing materials. The internship makes these materials available to interns, as required to complete psychological assessments. Other supplies and administrative support are available as appropriate. Supervision and Didactics An internship is an organized training program. Supervision and regular participation in the didactic seminars are required components of the internship. In a typical week, each intern participates in: • • • One hour of group supervision at the BHC Two hours of individual supervision at PMG or VG One hour of supervision of supervision at BHC 16 • • Two hours of Didactic Training each week at George Fox University (additionally, there will be times in the year where interns will attend 4 and 6 hour colloquiums, grand rounds and workshops. Also, the year starts with a 40 hour training in primary care psychology.) Quarterly didactics during lunch hour that focus on Providing Supervision Many weeks provide additional required training, such as the colloquia and grand rounds schedule offered by the GDCP. A probable schedule of training activities is included in this handbook. Included in the list of weekly training activities, interns will participate in a seminar series for 1 hr. most weeks, with Dr. Kathleen Gathercoal. These seminars will focus on professional career development, program evaluation and increasing scientific knowledge base as a psychologist. All supervisors have a doctoral degree in psychology and are licensed in the state of Oregon. Supervisors are clinically and professionally responsible for services provided by interns. Supervising psychologists within Providence Medical Group and Virginia Garcia Memorial Health Centers retain an academic appointment with George Fox University and have regular and frequent contact with the University. Staff Staff and faculty of the GDCP are located in the Villa Academic Center of George Fox University. They are available to interns throughout the training year. Note that some faculty are on 9-month academic contracts and will have limited availability during summer months. The internship Training Director’s office is in the Behavioral Health Clinic where interns will be meeting for supervision and training each week. Supervisors at Providence Health and Services and Virginia Garcia Medical Center will meet interns at the site where interns provide services. Orientation to Internship Orientation will occur during the first few weeks of internship. Interns begin providing professional services immediately after they are oriented. The Graduate Department of Clinical Psychology Internship Consortium will do all it can to prevent delays in getting the interns enrolled as employees in the various systems. Interns are expected to turn in all new employee paperwork in a timely fashion. Internship Completion Criteria To successfully complete the doctoral Internship, interns are expected to fulfill the following requirements and demonstrate competence in each of the areas described in this manual. • A minimum of 2000 hours of program participation, including 800 hours of direct clinical work 17 • • • • Approximately 32 hours weekly at Providence Health and Services or Virginia Garcia Memorial Health Center, including one hour of individual supervision Approximately 8 hours per week at the Behavioral Health Clinic, including 1 hour of individual supervision, 1 hour of supervision of a practicum student, 1 hours of group supervision, 1 hour of supervision of supervision and 2 hours of didactics/training Both the Training director and the Providence Medical Group/ Virginia Garcia supervisor will track interns’ competence using a self-evaluation and evaluation. These evaluations will occur mid-year and at the end of the internship. Competencies that fall below a 3 will require a remediation plan in the fall, and failure to pass internship in the summer. Completion of the internship requires a competency score of 3 or better for each competency by the end of the year. We predict that most interns will average scores between 4 and 5 by the end of the year. If an intern is below a 3 in certain competencies by the end of the year they will fail the internship. An intern can petition the internship committee to allow an extension of the internship and a second remediation plan to prove that they can perform the lacking competency at a satisfactory level (3) or to make up for any missing hours. However, allowing this is at the committee’s discretion. An intern will receive a certificate upon satisfactory completion of the internship program. Evaluations Interns will be given frequent feedback from supervisors based on their professional work. In addition, each intern will be given a formal progress evaluation twice during the year. The competency-based evaluation form is included in this packet (at the very end). Please review this form prior to meeting with your supervisor, and be prepared to develop competency-based goals for the internship year. The internship Training Director follows the following procedure for the beginning of the year, mid-year and year-end evaluation: 1. At the start of the year, the interns fill out the self-evaluation to establish their starting competency level and identify training goals for the year. 2. The Training Director requests the PMG/VG supervisor to fill out the competency-based evaluation forms at the middle and end of the year. 3. The Training Director asks students to complete a self-evaluation, using the same competency-based evaluation form as an opportunity for selfreflection and as a comparison to their supervisor’s evaluation. This selfevaluation is not required to complete the internship. 18 4. The Training Director also completes the mid and end of year formal evaluations, considering the intern’s work at the BHC as well as the other evaluation data collected. 5. The evaluation is reviewed at mid-year and end of year with the student and the student is given opportunity for a written response if desired. 6. All evaluations and student responses become part of the intern’s file. 7. If any competencies, by either supervisor, in the mid-year evaluation are below a 3, a remediation plan will be created/implemented. If the Intern cannot improve their score on the failed competency to a 3 or better by the end of the internship year the intern will fail the internship. 8. Look at the Remediation Plan format at the end of this handbook for more detail on remediation. Working Hours Working hours, established by the Training Director, are typically normal business hours, Monday through Friday. Occasionally, the interns will have the opportunity to lead a group that starts later in the day. This may lead to a later end time, but often interns will be able to adjust their schedule to start later on those days. Interns are asked to be flexible in their scheduling where possible. This is particularly important with regard to psychological testing, which will sometimes require a rapid response for timely feedback. Self-Study The Director of Training and the Internship Committee routinely reviews the training offered to interns. This includes reviewing interns’ evaluations of training sites as well as site visits of the PMG/VG placements. Interns will receive a postinternship survey in the year after completing the internship and we expect that alumni will complete the survey in order to improve the program for future interns. Vacation and Sick Leave In addition to major holidays, interns are granted 4 weeks of excused leave (vacation and sick leave) throughout the year, two of which are prescribed to be the week between Christmas and New Years and the week of GFU’s Spring Break. The other two weeks are chosen at the interns’ discretion, in consultation with the Training Director. Interns are asked to schedule an entire week of vacation at a time, rather than individual days, and to give at least 30 days notice before scheduling vacation leave. Extended Absence An intern may be excused from service for maternity leave, severe illness (physical or emotional), or other legitimate reasons. Extended absences do not reduce the overall number of hours required for completing the internship. In rare cases, an intern may need to extend the length of training in order to fulfill all required training hours. If this occurs, the salary and stipend end after the first 12 19 months of training. Academic Integrity According to the APA Ethics guidelines, “Psychologists do not present portions of another’s work or data as their own, even if the other work or data source is cited occasionally.” This guideline applies to all work submitted in this program (electronic, written or oral). Submission of oral presentations or written work that include plagiarized material (text or data) is a serious infraction. Interns who plagiarize will be subject to disciplinary action, which may include being dismissed from the program. Clinical Suitability Concerns The Quaker tradition of George Fox University is humanizing and egalitarian, and this influence is felt throughout the institution. Positive relationships among faculty, staff, students, and administrators are evident throughout the University context. This is not to say that tensions never arise, of course they do, but it is hoped that in the process of managing tensions, human dignity is affirmed and great effort is invested in hearing one another in fairness and justice. The GDCP recognizes the rights of interns to be treated with courtesy and respect. In order to maintain the quality and effectiveness of interns’ learning experiences, all interactions among doctoral students, interns, faculty and staff should be collegial and conducted in a manner that reflects the highest standards of the scholarly community and of the profession (see APA Ethical Principles of the Psychologists and Code of Conduct). The internship program has an obligation to inform interns of these principles and of their avenues of recourse should problems arise with regard to them. Below are listed guidelines that are intended to assist interns through common disagreements that may arise. It is hoped that the Christian virtues such as respect, fairness, and seeking the good of the other party will be evident when employing these guidelines. Concerns and Grievance Process In 2006, the Board of Educational Affairs (BEA) of the APA collaborated with the Council of Chairs of Training Councils (CCTC) to clarify the requisite foundational and functional competencies for students in professional psychology programs. The CCTC committee states, “Foundational competencies refer to the knowledge, skills, attitudes and values that serve as the foundation for the functions a psychologist is expected to carry out,” (CCTC, 2007, p. 5). The document goes on to explain that foundational competencies are the prerequisite to the acquisition of functional competencies. Foundational competencies include reflective practice of self assessment, scientific knowledge, relationship skills, and awareness of ethical-legal standards, individual-cultural diversity, and interdisciplinary systems. If concerns about an intern’s foundational or functional competencies or concerns 20 about supervision or training emerge, 1. We encourage informal resolution according to the guidelines established in the APA Ethical Principles, which allow for direct communication and problem resolution. As stated above, our community ethos is guided by an expectation for fairness and justice and it is expected that supervisors, staff and interns express and respond to concerns with respect and integrity. 2. Informal mediation: if an informal resolution is insufficient to address the concerns expressed by supervisors or interns, either party can request the Training Director (or appropriate designee) to mediate subsequent meetings. If the concern involves the Training Director, the communication can initially be addressed to the Director of Psychology Services. The mediation meetings will be scheduled within one week of the request and will include both parties and the designated mediator. Discussion and problem resolution will be documented and may include interventions for both student and supervisor. A one-month check-in will occur for a minimum of three months following the informal mediation. 3. Formal Grievance: The Internship Committee has adapted the model successfully used in the GDCP for addressing student or faculty/supervisor grievances. The following steps outline the process: a. If the informal mediation process is insufficient to address concerns expressed by students or supervisors, either party may send a written request to the Training Director (or Director of Psychology Service if the grievance involves the Training Director,) for the grievance to be addressed by the Internship Committee. • The Internship Committee includes the Training Director, Chairperson of the GDCP, the supervising psychologist from PMG and the supervising psychologist from VG. The Internship Committee is a standing committee whose purpose is to assist in the development of the student, supervisor and training program. If the grievance involves a member of the Internship Committee, that member will recuse him or herself from the process. b. All parties involved in the grievance will receive a letter from the internship Training Director (or Director of Psychology Service if grievance involves the Training Director) notifying them of the referral to the Internship Committee and describing the specific reasons for the referral. The Director of Clinical Training of the intern’s graduate program will also be notified in writing of the grievance and will receive a copy of the Internship Committee’s decision and corrective plan, if relevant. c. After receiving the letter stating the formal grievance, the Training Director (or Director of Psychology Service) will schedule a meeting with each of the parties involved and the Internship Committee. The 21 d. e. f. g. h. purpose of the meeting will be to gain information and clarify the concern of each party. Following this meeting, the Internship Committee will make a decision that facilitates the training and development of the intern. The Internship Committee may make specific recommendations (e.g. change of rotation, change of supervisor, remedial training) and/or request that either or both parties meet to develop a corrective plan to remediate or otherwise respond to the concerns. The decision of the Internship Committee and the expectations for a corrective plan will be communicated in writing to the intern and relevant participants, including the DCT of the intern’s graduate program. Following their receipt of the decision and specific recommendations, the intern (and/or supervisor) will be asked to inform the Internship Committee in writing whether they accept the decision, including the recommendation to collaboratively develop a corrective plan. If a corrective plan is to be developed, a specific timeframe and a second, follow-up meeting to develop and discuss the plan will also be included in the written communication. During the implementation and completion of the corrective plan, all parties will remain under “committee oversight” which will involve periodic meetings with the Internship Committee. Written notice of completion of corrective plan will be provided to all parties, including the Director of Clinical Training of the intern’s program. Appeal Process Decisions by the Internship Committee may be appealed. In the event of an appeal the following process must be followed: 1. If the intern disagrees with the decision of the Internship Committee, the intern can submit a written appeal to the Provost of George Fox University within one month of receipt of the Internship Committee decision. 2. The Provost of George Fox University will consult as appropriate and determine a final decision on the appeal. The decision may support the appeal and refer back to the Internship Committee or deny the appeal with written explanation. A written copy of the appeal decision will be sent to all parties, including the DCT of the intern’s program. Complaints Against Fellow Interns Consistent with the APA Ethical Standards and Code of Conduct, it is recommended that informal resolution be the first step in resolving a conflict or concern with another intern. When concerns arise, the complainant should contact the student in question and frankly discuss the concerns. If resolution is not reached, one may engage in the following formal complaint resolution 22 process. Complaints may be made against fellow interns for the following reasons: 1. Alleged violation to APA Ethical Principles and Code of Conduct, state or federal laws. 2. Alleged violation of internship policies. 3. Concerns about a student’s clinical suitability for the practice of clinical psychology. 4. Concerns about a student’s physical, intellectual, or emotional abilities to perform the essential functions of a clinical psychologist. Because of the nature of a formal complaint and the subsequent investigation, complete confidentiality of the complainant may not be possible. It is desirable for the complainant to submit the complaint(s) in writing and be interviewed by the Internship Committee. Written documentation of the complaint and outcome are kept in the intern’s permanent file. Typically, complaints against students will be handled in the following manner: 1. Complaints against a student should be written and are sent to the internship Training Director. 2. The Training Director communicates the complaint to the Internship Committee within five working days of receipt of the complaint. 3. The Training Director notifies the intern that a complaint(s) against him/her has been made within five working days of receipt of the complaint from the internship Training Director. 4. The Internship Committee gathers necessary information from faculty, concerned students, field supervisors, or client. 5. The Internship Committee provides the student with written documentation of the specific complaint(s) and concerns of the Committee within 20 working days of receipt of the complaint from the internship Training Director. 6. The Internship Committee interviews the intern to obtain additional information and his/her response to the allegations within 10 working days of written notification to the intern of the specific complaint(s). The intern may bring another intern or a faculty member or supervisor to the interview to serve as a support person. The student may offer to the Internship Committee names of persons who may provide information on behalf of the student. This is not a litigious process, and attorneys should not be involved at this level. 7. The Internship Committee recommends a decision within 10 working days of the student interview. Possible recommendations include but are not limited to: a. Dismiss complaint. b. Letter of reprimand. 23 c. Remedial actions. The intern must submit documentation of satisfaction of remedial recommendations by a specified date. Remedial actions may include, but are not limited to, mandatory psychotherapy, additional courses, and additional supervision. d. Dismissal from the internship. 8. The Internship Committee decides on the Committee course of action and the internship Training Director notifies the student in writing within three working days. Complaints Against Training Director, Staff Person or Supervisor Consistent with the APA Ethical Standards and Code of Conduct, it is recommended that informal resolution be the first step in resolving a conflict or concern with another intern. When concerns arise, the complainant should contact the person in question and frankly discuss the concerns. If resolution is not reached, one may engage in the following formal complaint resolution process. Complaints may be made against supervisors, staff people or the Training Director (AKA psychologist) for the following reasons: 1. Alleged violation to APA Ethical Principles and Code of Conduct, state or federal laws. 2. Alleged violation of internship or agency policies. 3. Concerns about a psychologist’s clinical suitability for the practice of clinical psychology. 4. Concerns about a psychologist’s physical, intellectual, or emotional abilities to perform the essential functions of a clinical psychologist. Because of the nature of a formal complaint and the subsequent investigation, complete confidentiality of the complainant may not be possible. It is desirable for the complainant to submit the complaint(s) in writing and be interviewed by the psychologist’s direct supervisor. Written documentation of the complaint and outcome are kept in the staff person/psychologist’s permanent file. Typically, complaints against staff people/psychologists will be handled in the following manner: (a) Complaints against a staff person or psychologist should be written and are sent to the person’s direct supervisor at the agency they work at. If the complaint is at George Fox University, complaints should be directed to the Chair of the PsyD department (currently Mary Peterson, PhD) and if the complaint is against a Providence supervisor, the complaint should be directed to the director of Behavioral Medicine. If the Complaints are regarding the Virginia Garcia supervisor, the complaint should be directed to the Director of Behavioral Health 24 Services. (b) Each agency will follow the grievance policy laid out by their Human Resources department policies and procedures. (c) If the intern is not satisfied with the outcome of this grievance process, or if they feel ethically obligated, the intern may contact the state licensure board or national association, or legal authorities should they choose. Sexual Harassment Policy The GDCP endorses and interns, professors, and supervisors must comply with Section 1.11 and 1.12 of the Ethical Standards of Psychologists and Code of Conduct, which state: 1.11 Sexual Harassment (a) Psychologists do not engage in sexual harassment. Sexual harassment is sexual solicitation, physical advances, or verbal or nonverbal conduct that is sexual in nature, that occurs in connection with the psychologist’s activities or roles as a psychologist, and that either: (1) is unwelcome, is offensive, or creates a hostile work place environment, and the psychologist knows or is told this; or (2) is sufficiently severe or intense to be abusive to a reasonable person in the context. Sexual harassment can consist of a single intense or severe act or of multiple persistent or pervasive acts. (b) Psychologists accord sexual-harassment complaints and respondent’s dignity and respect. Psychologists do not participate in denying a person academic admittance or advancement, employment, tenure, or promotion, based solely upon their having made, or their being the subject of, sexual harassment charges. This does not preclude taking action based upon the outcome of such proceedings or consideration of other appropriate information. 1.12 Other Harassment Psychologists do not knowingly engage in behavior that is harassing or demeaning to persons with whom they interact in their work based on factors such as those persons’ age, gender, race, ethnicity, national origin, religion, sexual orientation, disability, language, or socioeconomic status. A comprehensive statement about GFU’s policies related to Harassment, Drug Free Environment, FERPA, and other student rights and expectations can be found in the GFU Graduate Catalog: http://www.georgefox.edu/catalog/compliance/compliance.html. Community Aspirations The GDCP strives to be an intentional community where civility and virtue is practiced on a daily basis. Every effort is made to provide an optimal training environment for doctoral students and doctoral interns. 25 We invite interns to be part of this learning community with the hope that we will contribute to their growth and ultimately to the health of the profession. Internship is a time of transition, providing opportunity for trainees to further develop skills learned during earlier years of graduate training while also preparing for entry into professional psychology as a career. We hope this internship provides many opportunities for personal and professional development. Interns are valued colleagues. Please feel free to bring your questions, comments and concerns to faculty, staff, and supervisors. –We hope you enjoy your internship year! 26 GEORGE FOX GRADUATE SCHOOL OF CLINICAL PSYCHOLOGY INTERNSHIP CONSORTIUM Intern Remediation Plan Type of Remediation: _____ Developmental Plan _____ Probation Date of Remediation Plan Meeting: Name of Intern: Primary Supervisor: Names of All Persons Present at the Meeting: All Additional Pertinent Supervisors/Faculty: Date for Follow-‐up Meeting(s): Check all competency domains in which the trainee’s performance does not meet the benchmark: _____ Research ______Ethical and Legal standards ______Individual and Cultural Diversity ______Professional values, attitudes, and behaviors ______Communication and Interpersonal skills ______Assessment ______ Intervention ______Supervision _______Consultation and interprofessional/ Interdisciplinary Systems 27 Description of the problem(s) in each competency domain checked above: Date(s) the problem(s) was brought to the intern’s attention and by whom: Steps already taken by the intern to rectify the problem(s) that was identified: Steps already taken by the supervisor(s)/faculty to address the problem(s): 28 Remediation Plan Competency Domain/ Essential Components Problem Expectations Intern’s Responsibilities/ Actions Supervisor/Faculty Responsibilities/ Actions Timeframe for Acceptable Performance Assessment Methods Dates of Evalu ation Consequences for Unsuccessful Remediation 29 I, _________________________, have reviewed the above remediation plan with my primary supervisor, any additional supervisors/faculty, and the director of training.
