This newsletter is being sent not only to those master's programs that are members of CAMPP, but to a broad range of non-member programs as well. We want to let you know that we exist - if you didn't know this already - and encourage you to consider joining. CAMPP is more than simply a "one issue" organization - although that one issue, fostering the advancement of master's level training, including issues of practice and licensing, is central. Other important CAMPP issues involve the curriculum oversight and training standards, encouragement for master's programs to pursue accreditation through MPAC (Masters in Psychology Accreditation Council), and continued lobbying for acknowledgement of the important role served by M.A. training programs in psychology. In its meetings during September, 2001, the Executive Committee of CAMPP continued its discussion of another important issue, that of supervision standards and practices in M.A. training programs. Join CAMPP, the only national organization specifically devoted to issues of importance in applied master's training in psychology.
