FROM THE CEO’S DESK
National Practice Conference III—and Beyond

I write this column in the days following the conclusion of our now-annual National Practice Conference in Washington, DC. As you likely know, we and our partners at The Trust have now run three conferences, each of which focuses exclusively on the needs of the practicing health service psychologist. Without being too self-congratulatory, I truly believe each one is getting better and better. I’d like to share some highlights from the weekend for the sessions I personally attended.
NATIONAL REGISTER UPDATES & ANNOUNCEMENTS
National Register Internship Travel Scholarship
You remember traveling to your internship site, perhaps with few if any supports, so that you could complete your doctoral degree. The National Register of Health Service Psychologists’ Internship Travel Scholarship provides $1,000 to doctoral students experiencing financial hardship due to relocating to their internship clinics.
Introducing Psychology Connect
The National Register just launched Psychology Connect, a referral system open to all licensed psychologists in the United States at no charge. This service was built to streamline the process of referring and accepting patients.
Psychology Connect is not limited to National Register members, so please let your colleagues know about this new referral service.
