Brad;

Hope you are doing well! I wanted to ask if you would be willing/able to
share a little bit of information with the psychologists within the VA
system. I'm part of the 2010 Presidential Task Force for Advancing
Practice, and we've developed PsycLINK, a wiki-type system for
psychologists that are APA members. The site went live in August, and
we're starting to spread the word. If you'd be willing/able to share,
I've cut and pasted the little blurb that the TF wrote this weekend to
share with everyone.

Thank you so much!
-Mary

Tired of 9 Million hits that don't answer your Practice question?  Try
PsycLINK instead!
 
APA members now have a FREE interactive, online forum where they can
find, share and discuss resources and useful web sites like practice
management tools, anxiety, dementia, postpartum depression, and other
topics relevant to their practices. Part social networking site, part
community bulletin board, PsycLINK is a wiki platform "by psychologists,
for psychologists." Psychologists can also use PsycLINK to pose
questions, get answers to their clinical issues, and receive e-mail
updates when members add new content.

APA's Presidential Task Force on Advancing Practice developed the new
tool, and the Task Force believes PsycLINK will grow over time and
increase in value as practitioners add to the content. We also see it
evolving as a way for clinicians to easily get pertinent clinical and
patient related references and information, interact with colleagues,
and have discussions that one can participate in as desired. It is an
online product, and while one can get notified of postings, it is not
email intensive in the slightest.

As an APA member, you can benefit from this incredible resource by
signing in to my.apa.org, click on PsycLINK.apa.org and create your
profile. Sign up for e-mail updates, add materials and share resources,
and comment on current materials. The more psychologists that sign up,
the more the Wiki will grow and evolve into a premiere resource for
practitioners, educators and researchers.
