Site Visitor Workshops

UPCOMING DATES

  • No cost to participants for attending.
  • Required of new visitors to be eligible to conduct accreditation site visits.
  • Please review the criteria for being a site visitor.
  • Open to new site visitors and experienced site visitors.
  • Experienced visitors should attend the workshop at least every five years.
  • Provide training in how to conduct a site visit under the Standards of Accreditation (SoA).
  • Continuing Education (CE) credits: Each participant attending the full workshop receives CE credits for licensed psychologists, and the Office of Accreditation pays those fees.
  • There is especially a need in the site visitor corps for generalists (psychologists in areas other than clinical, counseling and school).
  • The CoA makes a special effort to ensure diversity among site visitors. Therefore, the commission strongly encourages the nomination of women and members of underrepresented groups.
