This decision is based on the CoA’s professional judgement that the program has demonstrated that it adheres to the Standards of Accreditation in Health Service Psychology (SoA). The current record indicates that a full review of the program is warranted within ten years of its last site visit, including interim reporting, to ensure continued adherence to the Standards.

Programs must provide opportunities for all of their students to achieve and demonstrate each required profession-wide competency. Although in general, the competencies appearing at or near the top of the following list serve as foundations upon which later competencies are built, each competency is considered critical for graduates in programs accredited in health service psychology. The specific requirements for each competency are articulated in Implementing Regulations. Because science is at the core of health service psychology, programs must demonstrate that they rely on the current evidence-base  when training students in the following competency areas.  Students must demonstrate competence in: \ni.\tResearch\nii.\tEthical and legal standards\niii.\tIndividual and cultural diversity\niv.\tProfessional values, attitudes, and behaviors\nv.\tCommunication and interpersonal skills\nvi.\tAssessment\nvii.\tIntervention\nviii.\tSupervision \nix.\tConsultation and interprofessional/interdisciplinary skills<br/><br/><b>D.II.B.4.a-b:</b> Required Internship Training Elements. The program must demonstrate that all students complete a one year full-time or two year part-time internship. The program’s policies regarding student placement at accredited versus unaccredited internships should be consistent with national standards regarding internship training. \n\na.\tAccredited Internships. Students are expected to apply for, and to the extent possible, complete internship training programs that are either APA- or CPA-accredited. For students who attend accredited internships, the doctoral program is required to provide only the specific name of the internship. \nb.\tUnaccredited Internships. When a student attends an unaccredited internship, it is the responsibility of the doctoral program to provide evidence demonstrating quality and adequacy of the internship experience. This must include information on the following: \ni.\tthe nature and appropriateness of the training activities;\nii.\tfrequency and quality of supervision;\niii.\tcredentials of the supervisors;\niv.\thow the internship evaluates student performance;\nv.\thow interns demonstrate competency at the appropriate level; \nvi.\tdocumentation of the evaluation of its students in its student files.<br/><br/>"}
