Counseling psychologists have been at the forefront of social justice and advocacy efforts in the discipline of psychology. Despite these foci, few graduate training programs in psychology offer formal courses or training in advocacy, social justice, and public policy. To develop and fill a pipeline of professionals involved in social justice and advocacy efforts, graduate training programs in psychology must expose and prepare students to these areas. The purpose of the current paper is to describe how faculty within the professional psychology program at the University of Denver incorporate advocacy, public policy, and social justice education and training into their program. We describe how the program climate and curriculum were created to meet these training needs.

“…Additionally, White, Smith, and Currie [37] and indicate, despite the fact that operations research being a discipline that is gaining recognition in the developing countries, Africa inclusive, reviews specifically focusing on the respective continents and countries are missing. Such a trend has provoked the OR discipline to be considered atheoretical one, as theories are mainly derived from other disciplines coupled with the studies being deprived of practical contextual issues [12].…”

“…This can be envisaged in areas such as; advertising policies, location as well as warehousing, and policies regarding inventory management. It is conceptually believed that in the developmental context in OR research; it is unmistakably signposted that OR in less developed economies, EAC being typical suggests different solutions which are contrary to those of most developed countries [14,37]. In relation to the above, basing on Ravn and Vidal's [42] squabble for the momentous role of OR in aiding development initiatives in developing economies like EACs, it can be assumed that OR in these countries is much needed for economic growth and development (a necessary evil) compared to its counterparts, the most developed countries (MDCs) that need OR to sustain (brook) their development, hence making this study worthwhile since according to the author's knowledge, no study has been conducted in line with OR to provide insights and awareness of the existence of PhD OR offered at UDBS under ORSEA, its meaning, benefits, relevance and applications as a marketing strategy to the potential students from developing economies (like East Africa Community), that represent a fast economic and socially growing region in Africa and where relevant analytic practical skills are madly needed for not only industrialization but also achieving other world sustainable development goals (SDGs).…”

Irrefutably, PhD in operations research program is suggested to be the best approach to solve developing countries long term and persistent problems which require real time solutions and these are mostly applicable in OR. It should be recalled that PhD OR entails content to do with Operations research models, theories and related fields. This provides organisations or companies with best optimization solutions to achieve a competitive age among other benefits provided by the experts (operation researchers/management scientists/operation managers). This paper aimed at providing insights and awareness of the existence of PhD OR offered at UDBS under ORSEA, its meaning, benefits, relevance and applications as a marketing strategy to the potential students from developing economies like East Africa. Using interpretive-inductive design, narrative approach to qualitative method was employed to gather data from personal experience as a stakeholder and pioneer of PhD OR program at UDBS, content analysis was employed to analyse the collected data. The findings, ought to increase on the student intake which has been very low visa v the many resources which are needed during the facilitation of the program. This will also increase on the future OR experts to solve the community real problems. This paper has practical implications to all policy makers and all stakeholders of the program plus future academia. The recommendations will assist top managers to embark of meaningful and aggressive marketing strategies to attract the potential students to join the program.

“…In that vein, the watershed event may have been the 2009 decision by the Council for Accreditation of Counseling and Related Educational Programs (CACREP) to disavow counseling psychologists from being recognized as qualified to provide the core training of master’s level counselors (CACREP, 2015; Grus, 2019; Jackson & Scheel, 2013; Owen, Henderson Metzger, Gorgens, & Nadkarni, 2019). Upon enactment of that decision in 2013, counseling psychologists were specifically singled out as ineligible to teach in counselor education programs (Campbell et al, 2018).…”

“…Despite a lack of supporting evidence, those efforts appear to be working. Increasingly, licensure bodies are requiring applicants to hold a degree from a CACREP accredited program despite non-CACREP programs outperforming CACREP accredited programs on evidentiary metrics of program quality, such as pass rates on licensure exams and the National Counselor Examination (Owen et al, 2019).…”

This introduction to the special section on accreditation of master's programs in health service psychology (HSP) describes the driving forces, within and beyond the discipline of psychology, that have contributed to recent developments pertaining to accreditation of HSP master's programs. Projected workforce needs and accreditation pathways are overviewed before summarizing accreditation requirements that have been recommended by a recent American Psychological Association (APA) Board of Educational Affairs task force. As APA moves forward with accreditation of master's programs in HSP there are several key areas requiring concerted effort: (1) addressing the risk of further constriction of diversity in the training-to-doctoral workforce pipeline, (2) defining the scope of practice at the master's level, and (3) articulating the additional value of the doctoral degree. A data driven rubric for defining and distinguishing HSP competences according to level of practice is proposed. Taking a rigorous and defensible, evidence-based, approach to defining the scope of practice in psychology at the master's level elevates the profile of the entire discipline and demonstrates our collective commitment to quality in the service of the public. Public Significance StatementThis article provides an introduction to a special section in this issue that is focused on the forthcoming accreditation of master's health service psychology programs. As the workforce grows, careful attention to curation of a diverse workforce at both the master's and doctoral levels is necessary. Further, decisions that define the scope of practice appropriate to the master's level and distinguishing master's from doctoral level competencies in health service psychology should be based on empirical evidence. An evidence-based rubric is proposed to facilitate that process.
