APA Practice Leadership Conference

GRAND HYATT, WASHINGTON, D.C.

Dear Practice Leadership Conference Participant:

Welcome to PLC, the annual advocacy and leadership training conference for leaders in professional psychology practice. Each year, we offer programming and opportunities designed to educate, connect, and empower you. We strive to equip you with all the information, resources, and skills you need to be an effective and creative advocate who is on top of the latest trends and developments in psychology and health care policy.

This year marks the launch of APA Services, Inc. and the inauguration of APA’s new integrated advocacy structure. As APA enters a new era and begins implementing a strategic plan approved by APA’s Council of Representatives at their February 2019 meeting, PLC presents an opportunity to examine how we can shape psychology’s future and strengthen advocacy efforts across our discipline.

You—psychology’s leaders and leaders-in-training—are at the forefront of change for our profession. You are the reason why PLC is a successful advocacy event. The great energy and exchange that PLC generates is made possible by its unique confluence of psychologists and students from an array of professional, cultural, and regional backgrounds, who share similar goals and a similar vision for the future of the profession. When you come together at PLC to learn from one another, to exchange ideas, to collaborate and connect, a kind of “magic” happens—and you take that “magic” first to Capitol Hill and then home to your communities. Your diverse experiences, perspectives, and talents help propel us collectively forward, and toward a strong, inclusive, dynamic future.

The conference has been carefully planned by many individuals, including staff from the APA Communications and Advocacy Offices and the entire Practice Directorate. I want to especially acknowledge Dan Abrahamson, PhD, and his State Advocacy staff, Susan Lazaroff, JD, Javier Aquino, and Madeline Boening for their contribution in putting all the pieces together. The directorate has been aided greatly by the Committee of State Leaders co-chaired by Travis Colwell, PhD, and Theresa Coddington, PhD, and the executive committee of the Council of Executives of State and Provincial Psychological Associations (CESPPA), chaired by Keira Boertzel-Smith, JD. The PLC planning process has also been supported by the Committee for the Advancement of Professional Practice (CAPP), chaired by Lindsey Buckman, PsyD.

Throughout the conference, APA staff will be available to answer questions and assist you. Please let us know if there is anything that we can do to help make sure your PLC experience is successful and enjoyable.

WelcomeAPA PRACTICE LEADERSHIP CONFERENCEMarch 9–12, 2019 Grand Hyatt, Washington, D.C.

The Practice Leadership Conference (PLC) is the annual advocacy and leadership training conference for leaders in professional psychology practice. The conference brings together psychologists from the state, provincial, and territorial psychological associations (SPTAs) across the U.S. and Canada, along with APA governance and a few divisions, to advocate for issues important to practicing psychologists. Historically this conference has primarily focused on issues important to licensed psychologists and fostering leadership and effective governance strategies for participating SPTAs.

State psychological associations have played the central role in the 36-year history of PLC. Prior to 2017, PLC was called the State Leadership Conference (SLC). The conference is an opportunity for SPTA leaders to network and converse about professional issues, association management challenges, and trends occurring at the state and federal level.

The APA Committee of State Leaders (CSL) also has a long history of contributing to this conference, including coordination of the PLC Diversity Initiative for the past 20 years. This year CSL would like to expand the conference’s emphasis in this area by raising the consciousness of PLC attendees about issues of diversity and inclusion. These diversity and inclusion issues include but are not limited to (in no particular order), age and career stage, gender, gender identity, race, ethnicity, culture, national origin, religion, sexual orientation, ability status, language, socioeconomic status, immigration status, and level of acculturation. In addition, it is hoped that PLC attendees will be mindful of the impact of differences in power and privilege as conference participants interact in numerous contexts.

Building Bridges and tearing Down Walls: A Model for Empirically-Based State and Legislative Advocacy on Immigration

Sponsored by the Diversity Subcommittee of the Committee of State Leaders (CSL)

This biennial Committee of State Leaders Diversity Subcommittee continuing education workshop will examine and discuss the role of psychologists in one of the biggest sociopolitical issues facing the United States. Psychologists can draw from the substantial science the field has produced and their vast knowledge and experience of human nature to inform and assist decision makers on policies and legislation that are more humane, diminish human suffering and create a better world. SPTAs and psychologists would benefit from partnering with other national organizations to create a unified front in tackling this growing crisis.

This panel will present and discuss how psychologists can coordinate their practice, research and academic experiences to develop tools for policy advocacy regarding undocumented immigrant children. Shirley Ann Higuchi will discuss her personal experience with Japanese Americans who were incarcerated in 10 camps from California to Arkansas during World War II and how recent and ongoing U.S. immigration policies have led many Japanese Americans to end their silence and speak out about the perceived parallels between their incarceration and the detention of immigrant families at the U.S. border. Alfonso Mercado will share specific examples of advocacy efforts and useful interventions used on the front lines of this ongoing crisis in a southern Texas border town. Giselle Hass, Manuel Paris and Cristina Muñiz de la Peña will debate how psychologists can better utilize their research and science knowledge to become more effective agents of change. Specifically, they will discuss how to exercise social responsibility interests to develop leadership skills, acquire legislative strategies, and impact policy. There will be a discussion of best practices regarding advocacy in social justice, ideas to approach policy makers, and strategies to better inform legislative change regarding the traumatic consequences of certain immigration policies and practices.

A State toolkit for Integrated Care

This workshop is sponsored by APA Division of State, Provincial, and Territorial Affairs (Division 31)

Advocacy for integrated care takes place on a state level daily. Psychologists in integrated care settings improve patient outcomes and bring value to the health system, yet barriers continue to practice, reimbursement, and full integration. Psychologists advocate through state legislation, state healthcare transformation efforts, with local insurers, and through educational efforts to provide integrated care. Yet many of their efforts may be unknown outside of their state. This program sponsored by Division 31 and the Division 31 Integrated Healthcare Task Force aims to share practical tools from state to state such as sample legislation, integrated care training models, and strategies for working with insurers to bring integrated care to states. Topics will include payment reform efforts in Delaware, use of Health and Behavior CPT codes in Missouri, and partnerships with training programs to develop an integrated care workforce. This interactive workshop will include sharing resources, demonstrating tools, and developing communication strategies for an “Integrated Care State Toolkit” for psychology.

translating Clinical Science to Enhance Practice: Programs and Policies

The best research on its own rarely changes healthcare. Scientists and practitioners need to work together to identify needs, conduct research and translate findings to inform policy and develop programs to promote evidence-based decision making and care. Increasingly, providers and health systems are expected to provide evidence-based services but determining what is appropriate evidence and documenting that services are evidence-based is not straight forward. Service settings have limited resources and many demands on their time so responding to these expectations while maximizing the organization’s goals of providing high quality care is critical. Utilizing an accepted definition of evidence-based practice (EBP) and relying on well-developed tools such as clinical practice guidelines and data registries may provide leverage for systems to advance care appropriate to their settings and populations.

The workshop will describe features of these high-quality tools (i.e., guidelines and registries) and provide examples relevant to the audience, including state leaders, program administrators, practice innovators and thought leaders within clinical settings. Attendees will be provided with a framework for considering what is evidence-based practice within their settings and how to use tools, emerging practices and other strategies to design and improve the care provided. Attention to barriers of successful implementation will be one focus of the presentation so that attendees can prepare for situations they are likely to encounter. Strategies for incorporating EBP into daily practice to advance the aims of the organization and gauging its effect will be discussed. Our discussant will focus on how these programs and policies impact psychology training.

Getting Your Members hooked on Advocacy

Sponsored by the Council of Executives of State and Provincial Psychological Associations (CESPPA)

With so many issues in play that affect psychologists and their patients, it has become even more important to develop strategies for engaging our SPTA members in our on-the-ground advocacy efforts. SPTAs are responsible for fighting not only for guild issues such as protection of scope of practice for psychologists but also social justice issues that affect our communities. In this session we will explore ways in which SPTAs can actively engage our members in meaningful advocacy work through events and on-the-spot training that show members the power of using their stories to impact policy. This workshop will provide you with helpful training materials for your organization and prepare you to build a team of influential advocates in your SPTA.

the Master’s Issue Advances

At its March 2018 meeting, the APA Council of Representatives authorized formation of a task force to outline a plan by which APA could pursue development of an accreditation system for master’s programs in health service areas (clinical, counseling, school) of psychology. Council received this “blue print” at its February 2019 meeting. The blueprint offers recommendations on the scope of accreditation, where it should be situated within the APA, and the type of expertise that will be needed to make accreditation decisions. Recommendations from this task force also included formation of a new work group to develop suggestions for expected competencies of individuals completing these accredited master’s programs. As this new work group is formed, it is vitally important for the practice and education communities to work together to identify appropriate competencies and distinguish those trained in psychology at the master’s level versus those trained at the doctoral level. Implications of such developments for education, training, practice and advocacy on behalf of these arenas will be discussed. APA policy remains that the doctorate is the minimum educational requirement for entry into professional practice as a psychologist. Future actions must reinforce the mission of APA to promote the discipline of psychology to benefit society and improve peoples’ lives.

Attendees will be invited to participate in an open discussion to identify important issues and pathways to achieve organizational objectives. Particular attention to the role of advocacy and the implications for both students and practitioners will be given.

State Association Leadership Plenary brought to you by ASPPB PSYPACT

Becoming Leaders for Integrated Advocacy – Making use of transferable Skills

Sponsored by ASPPB PSYPACT and Council of Executives of State and Provincial Psychological Associations (CESPPA)

Psychology advocacy in the 21st century encompasses a diverse and broad range of professional and societal issues. A key component of any successful advocacy initiative is strong leadership. This plenary will explore how psychologists can harness their training and skillsets for leadership roles and to successfully spearhead a range of advocacy efforts impacting psychology at the community, state and national levels. The discussion will examine the role and skillsets of psychologists as learning leaders and how psychologists can be influential leaders and advocates for the profession and on public health, social justice and science issues.

DC Medicaid Pilot Project: Opportunities and Challenges for Stakeholders in Placing Psychology trainees into a Primary Care Practice Serving the Medicaid Population

Sponsored by the Council of Executives of State, Provincial and Territorial Psychological Associations (CESPPA)

This unique workshop will highlight an innovative pilot project that has placed supervised psychology trainees, whose services are reimbursed by Medicaid, in a primary care practice to reach underserved populations in the District of Columbia and build a pipeline of highly-qualified integrated primary care psychologists. The project was conceived and launched by APA and the DC Psychological Association and brings together the Argosy University/Mid-Atlantic Internship Consortium, interns/postdoctoral trainees, primary care physicians, and AmeriHealth Caritas DC (the District’s largest Medicaid managed care company).

As healthcare moves increasingly toward team-based and integrated care models, education and training programs are looking for financially sustainable opportunities to help trainees develop the competencies needed for this type of practice. Training opportunities in integrated care settings that serve Medicaid patients can meet this need, benefit interns/postdoctoral trainees, and provide greater access to care for those patients. Creating these opportunities, however, entails overcoming various barriers. This workshop will examine how this model can create these opportunities and overcome these obstacles.

The workshop showcases the intersection between integrated primary care, psychology education and training, public interest, state regulatory advocacy, managed care, and early career issues. Speakers will discuss:

• the importance of training opportunities for interns/postdocs, specifically in integrated care;

• how the pilot project was conceived and developed;

• the regulatory, billing and business challenges that have been overcome; and

• the integrated care and Medicaid population experience that the pilot project offers to trainees.

Advocating for telepsychology: understanding Challenges and Opportunities to Improve Patient Access

The workshop will address the need and rationale for the Psychology Interjurisdictional Compact (PSYPACT), which would allow psychologists to use electronic communications interjurisdictionally to provide telepsychological services ethically and legally to patients. The workshop will also examine the APA Guidelines on Telepsychology with particular focus on competency, reimbursement, informed consent and confidentiality and security of the data. The presentation will explore the current impediments for interjurisdictional telepsychology practice and discuss possible solutions for the ethical and legal interjurisdictional practice.

Opioid Crisis and Non-pharmacological Pain Management Collaboration with SPtAs and Divisions

The nation is experiencing a crisis in terms of opioid use, opioid use disorders and deaths from Opioids. APA has made a commitment to addressing this crisis through the use of psychological science and practice. This workshop will explore APAs multipronged approach and the conclusions drawn about the rapid workforce training in non-pharmacological pain management as one of the most effective ways in which psychology can respond to the crisis.

A model of rapid practice workforce expansion will be described as it relates to skill and knowledge development in the areas of chronic v. acute pain, evidence-based interventions, the differentiation of differing routes to opioid misuse, and a model of workforce expansion through collaboration with training opportunities through the SPTAs and divisions.

The impact of public policy as it focuses on promoting a biopsychosocial model of care as differentiated from a biomedical approach will be described on the national level as well as through example of the Connecticut and Colorado initiatives with occupational medicine collaborative care models.

Putting Advocacy to Work: Extending Psychology’s Reach to Business and Industry

To maximize the impact of psychology, advocacy must reflect the breadth of the field and go beyond traditional government relations efforts. Developing positive and collaborative relationships with key decision makers in businesses, institutions, and industries can be a powerful way to leverage psychology’s expertise in human behavior to benefit society and improve lives, while at the same time advancing our own profession. In this program, you will hear about innovative ways to make these connections, broaden the public’s perception of psychology to include the work of applied psychologists, and demonstrate a variety of ways psychology can add value in organizational settings. Panelists will explore key contact points, communication channels, messaging, and strategies for making psychological science accessible and understandable in the business world.
