Transcripts of the National Discussion Group sessions are posted online for students not able to attend the live session. Students may also contact other participants directly through e-mail or telephone communication. Regional Interaction Meetings Regional Interaction Meetings are held at various sites throughout the country. Typically, each course includes two Regional Interaction Meetings, which normally take place on weekends near the beginning and end of each course. All students are required to attend these meetings.
Facilitators act as the first line of response to student inquiries and curriculum-related issues.
If facilitators cannot immediately provide the information required, they contact the Course Instructor for clarification and provide the appropriate feedback to the student. Facilitators attend and moderate regional Internet discussion forums and weekly chat sessions. They are also responsible for moderating and facilitating all Regional Interaction Meetings according to the agenda established by the Course Instructor. Professional Practice Settings Working professional psychologists have many opportunities in their real-world practice settings to apply and reinforce what they have learned. Interaction and collaboration with professional colleagues and clinical supervisors provide a platform for putting their knowledge and skills to work.
