Hi just some thoughts from my perspective. 1. The issues of the role in
primary care , integrated medicine is a top priority to me. A second issue
perhaps not as global is the difficulties with funding internships and
training. I would love to find a way for interns to be credentialed to bill
insurance for services ( maybe we will do away with the fee for service
concept but I think that is a long time coming!). So, one idea is
provisional Ph.D. during internship year so a license accepted by
institutions, insurance as practitioners..... A significant third issue to me
is leadership in taking back from 3rd party payers significant clinical
decisions.

Subject: [arpaleadership] Pre-Work for Council Strategic Issue Discussion
Greetings ArPA Leadership,
As your APA Council of Representatives member, I am preparing for our upcoming
council meeting (February 19-22) in Washington, DC. Each Council
representative has been asked to poll our respective Executive Committee about
the most critical, top three, strategic issues facing the discipline over the
next 5-10 years.
Note that by "strategic issues facing psychology" we mean high level,
overarching concerns that will influence many if not most areas of psychology
in the next decade or so and/or that will influence how psychology interacts
with the world around it. Examples might include psychology's role in primary
care and globalization/internationalization.
These results will be aggregated by APA staff and be made use of during the
Council strategic issue discussions.
What I need from you is input! As a group, we need to decide on ArPA's top
three, critical, strategic issues that we believe are facing the discipline
over the next 5-10 years, and I'll be sure to communicate this to APA for
discussion at the upcoming Council meeting.
Thanks in advance for your thoughts!
