For a written transcript, please click herePreview the documentView in a new window.   Poster presentations at conferences are effective methods of communicating research findings. The discussion of the research being presented is a key element in poster conferences. During professional conferences, poster presenters speak with other psychology professionals providing insights into the information offered within the poster as well as explaining key elements of the research findings. See the PSY699 Poster submission guidelines (Links to an external site.)Links to an external site. for templates and guidelines to aid in the creation of your poster.  For this week’s discussion, you will be submitting a link to your Pathbrite folder where your colleagues will find your poster presentation along with a brief detailed explanation of the materials included in it. Poster presentations are typically informal affairs with limited time for presenters to provide extra information. In keeping with this, your explanations of the materials will be limited to specific parameters. To explain the research presented in your poster, you will be creating a 3- to 5-minute screencast video. You may use any screencast software to create this video. (For further assistance with specific free-use screencast software please see the Quick-Start Guide for Screencast-O-Matic (Links to an external site.)Links to an external site.) Within the screencast video, you will create a voice over that will point out unusual, unique, and important aspects of the research presented in the poster. Be certain to visually indicate the specific sections or headers where the elements are located to guide your viewers through the materials. The link to the screencast will be attached to the poster page within your Pathbrite Portfolio so that your colleagues may interact with your insights into the materials.

Please post the first thread response by Day Three and the second thread response by Day Five. Respond to at least one colleague by Day Five. Offer response to any significant feedback by Day Seven.

How do you become competent? How do you maintain competency? While knowledge, training and ability appear on the surface to be enough, we as psychologists cannot be expert in everything or maintain a current awarenes of all the new literature of treatment, and other relevant issues, at all times.

Continuing education is one way to keep up with up with the current knowledge of the profession. Research, specialized training, supervised practice and simply knowing when to refer, are marks of knowing one’s competence.

Aspirational Principles: Moral Character as a Member of the Profession of Psychology

Purpose

To understand a profession, you need to be able to understand where we have been and where we are going.
Professional pychology, as a practice, is a new discipline. Spurred on by World War II, a new sense of responsibility arose among researchers who had begun to apply their knowledge critically. Psychologists looked at critical events or incidents and shared that information to formulate standards. As the world has become more legalistic, so too have our standards become more specific.
It is the general aspirational principles that we must not lose in our focus on “risk management”. Only when we really understand why we must care for our consumers from an aspirational base, will we understand, and truly be part of, our profession.
Remember: Do no harm. Look out for the welfare of the consumer. Treat every individual with dignity. Do not abuse your power.

 

Objectives

1. Define the elements of competence as a professional psychologist.
2. Discuss how professional credentialing assists in defining competence.
