Curriculum Redesign to Enhance Training in Scientifically Validated Behavioral Tr

描述（由申请人提供）：本项目的目的是提高威斯康星大学密尔沃基分校（UWM）美国心理协会（阿帕）批准的博士学位。临床心理学培训课程这些变化符合NIMH的要求，即开发课程以培训临床医生科学家，他们可以为患有各种心理健康状况的人开发，测试和实施有效的经验支持干预措施（ESI）（RFA-MH-08-080）。UWM临床心理学计划是一个科学家实践计划，在培训使用ESI和整合科学与实践方面具有现有优势。该项目将利用该计划现有的培训结构以及现有的教师临床研究优势，在习惯逆转训练（HRT）抽动障碍（TD）和震颤（TTM）和行为激活（BA）抑郁症。将进行两项课程修改。首先，通过专家咨询，HRT和BA的发展顺序培训计划，以及基于多模式能力的评估，以评估每个干预措施的能力，将创建并整合到所需的课程中。第二，在临床研究方法和相关的多模态能力为基础的评估必修课程将开发。能力评估将证明学生接受了充分的培训，以（a）将研究成果纳入临床实践，（B）利用临床实践来产生研究，以及（c）有效地将他们的研究想法传达到可资助的补助金申请中。课程修改的短期和长期影响的评估计划进行了描述，并提供了一个传播计划。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The aim of this project is to enhance the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee's (UWM) American Psychological Association (APA)-approved Ph.D. training curriculum in Clinical Psychology. These changes are in line with the NIMH's call for the development of curricula to train clinician scientists who can develop, test, and implement effective empirically supported interventions (ESIs) for those with various mental health conditions (RFA-MH-08-080). The UWM Clinical Psychology program is a scientist-practitioner program with existing strengths in training the use of ESIs and in integrating science and practice. This project will capitalize on the program's existing training structure as well as existing faculty clinical-research strengths in habit reversal training (HRT) for tic disorders (TD) and trichotillomania (TTM) and behavioral activation (BA) for depression. Two curricular modifications will be implemented. First, with expert consultation, developmentally sequenced training programs for both HRT and BA, and multimodal competency-based assessments to evaluate competency in each intervention, will be created and integrated into the required curriculum. Second, a required course in clinical research methods and related multi-modal competency-based assessments will be developed. The competency assessments will demonstrate that students are adequately trained to (a) incorporate research findings into clinical practice, (b) utilize clinical practice to generate research, and (c) effectively communicate their research ideas into fundable grant applications. A plan for evaluating both the short and long-term effects of the curricular modification is described and a dissemination plan is offered.
