Re:     Call for
Website Resource Submissions Related to the Practice of Psychology

APA’s President-Elect, Carol D. Goodheart,
Ed.D., has formed the Presidential Task Force on Advancing Practice
(APTF), chaired by Karen M. Zager, Ph.D.  An essential part of
our mission is to develop innovative methods for psychologists to find
and share clinical information and practice management tools, by creating
and organizing web-based resources that will be available as a value-added
benefit for APA members.  An exciting “Wiki” platform will
be piloted with members during 2010 and the task force is in the process
of “seeding” the Wiki with materials of direct relevance and immediate
practical use for clinicians in diverse spheres of practice.  We
hope that APA members, Divisions, STPAs and other organizations will
be key sources of this material. Our vision is that these materials
will be:

• In many different formats
  (e.g., webinars, downloadable files and materials, web-links, etc.).
• Directly usable by clinicians
  in their offices with/ for their patients
• Easily searchable and linked
  to Practice Central (the new APAPO website)
