Greetings, once again, from the Division 38 Program Committee! It’s hard to believe that August 2015 is just around the corner. We hope you have secured your passports, and are working to reserve a room in Toronto to take advantage of the discounted rates. You definitely don’t want to miss this year’s line-up!
We are extremely excited about our Division 38 program, which will feature cutting edge sessions that will stimulate the minds of students, early career professionals (ECPs), and seasoned experts! With the continued focus on interdivisional collaborative programming this year, we’ve teamed up with “old friends” such as Division 54 (Pediatric Psychology), 12 (Clinical), and 47 (Exercise and Sport Psychology), and are building exciting partnerships with numerous Divisions to offer excellent topics such as: “Internship Preparation Workshop for Rehabilitation, Health, and Neuropsychology Students,” “Effective Consultation with Medical Staff: Considerations for Integrated Healthcare Delivery Models,” “Negotiation Skills and Strategies for Psychology Leaders in Academic Health Centers and Health Systems,” and “Stress as a Key Contributor to Health Disparities in the U.S.” In addition, we have paired with various Divisions to co-list sessions that will offer rich opportunities for learning about issues related to diversity, risk behaviors, the role of social media in health management, and international (health) psychology.
We are especially excited to feature three provoking invited addresses by Dr. Sherry Grace (Current Issues in Depression and Cardiovascular Disease), Dr. A. Janet Tomiyama (Weight Stigma: Psychological, Behavioral, and Health Consequences), and Dr. Sherry Pagoto (Can Health Behavior Go Viral? Leveraging Social Media for Health Behavior Change). In addition, sessions facilitated by our Councils will discuss critical topics such as integrated primary care psychology, integration of technology into clinical care, and providing culturally competent care in our richly diverse settings. If you’re not already on the edge of your seat, sessions targeting professional development (e.g., board certification, negotiation skills), leadership perspectives for Health Psychology, or discussion of science that is critical to engaging in gold-standard care will surely seal the deal! Come join the fun!
See you in Toronto!!
