We had a discussion about this a couple of years ago. The following article was somewhat helpful in helping us articulate our thoughts and we actually used some of its verbiage in referring to our own model , which we used in our Self-Study. Rodolfa et al. (2005). Professional Psychology :Research and Practice Vol. 36, No.1, 25-31.

We are aware of other training models such as Practitioner-Scholar or Local Clinical Scientist. Our first step is getting more information on these different models. I was wondering if people had some good references for materials on the different training models. If other internship sites have had this discussion, any further suggestions or information would be much appreciated. Thanks much! P.
