Practitioner-scholar model
- Practitioner-scholar model
The practitioner-scholar model, often called the Vail model, is a training model for graduate programs that is strongly focused on clinical practice[cite book | last = Association | first = American | title = Getting in | publisher = American Psychological Association | location = Washington | year = 2007 | isbn = 1591477999 ] . It was developed primarily to train clinical psychologists but may be adapted by other specialty programs. According to this model, a psychologist is a scholar, a consumer of research, and a highly-trained professional practitioner who applies knowledge and techniques to solve problems of clients.]Model
Creation
In 1949, a historic conference was held in Boulder, Colorado, endorsing a new model of study for clinicians: the scientist-practitioner model, designed to provide a rigorous grounding in research methods and a breadth of exposure to clinical psychology. Prior, research scientists had dominated the field of psychological work, and this second model called for more practitioner-oriented course work. However, in 1973, a third model of study was proposed at the historic Vail Conference on Professional Training in Psychology in Vail, Colorado -- the practitioner-scholar model -- providing yet another path of training for those primarily interested in clinical practice.
Features
Several features differentiate the practitioner-scholar model from the other two
* Training in this model is more strongly focused on clinical practice that either of the other two.
* Many (but not all) of these training programs grant a Psy.D. degree rather than a Ph.D. or Ed.D.
* Admissions criteria may place more of an emphasis on personal qualities of the applicants or clinically related work experience.
* These programs are typically housed in a greater variety of institutional settings than are research scientist or scientist-practitioner programs.
Like scientist-practitioner training, practitioner-scholar training is characterized by core courses in both basic and applied psychology, supervision during extensive clinical experience, and research consumption. Both require predoctoral internships that are usually full-time appointments in universities, medical centers, community mental health centers, or hospitals.
