As noted on the Division 22 website, Rehabilitation Psychology is a specialty area within psychology that focuses on the study and application of psychological knowledge and skills on behalf of individuals with disabilities and chronic health conditions in order to maximize health and welfare, independence and choice, functional abilities, and social role participation across the lifespan. Please visit our website to find out more www.div22.org! Leadership has set “Engagement” as a Division 22 focus. RP15 will share this vision and work toward maximizing participation of each member of our division and in ways that are uniquely congruent and meaningful for membership through the conference theme Innovations in Rehabilitation Psychology. Program content regarding practice, research, ethics, and training will be developed by the program committee as they relate to the following thematic areas: technological advances (e.g., equipment, social media, mobile applications; virtual reality simulations, robotics); stakeholder engagement (e.g., caregivers, patients, families, providers, administration, students, business partners); and knowledge translation (e.g., practice to research, research to practice). We are excited to develop program content from which rehabilitation psychologists working with a variety of populations and within various settings can learn and collaborate! By the conclusion of this program, participants will be able to: 1. Identify current trends and learn new skills in rehabilitation psychology practice; 2. Discuss innovations in research and practice as well as their potential impact on service delivery; 3. Describe the key elements of ABPP/ABRP eligibility, the practice sample submission and review, the oral examination process, and characteristics of effective mentoring; 4. Discuss key issues for training in Rehabilitation Psychology; 5. Understand fundamental issues in ethics, cultural diversity, and evidence-based practice as applied to rehabilitation psychology. TARGET AUDIENCE: This conference is designed for psychologists in practice and/or academic settings who focus on rehabilitation with individuals having chronic diseases, impairments and / or physical and cognitive disabilities as well as for trainees (students, interns, and postdoctoral residents) with interests in rehabilitation psychology. Program content will be directed to all (i.e., basic, intermediate and advanced) skill levels.
