“…The participants also make clear that there is a substantial need for remote, rural, northern, and reserve-based community educational programming in psychology. Critical to the success of such programs appears to be the importance of integrating psychological training and service provision within integrated public health and social service systems (McIlwraith, Dyck, Holms, Carlson, & Prober, 2005), the development of collaborative community partnerships, and leveraging emerging technologies (Dyck, Cornock, Gibson, & Carlson, 2008).…”

With the release of the Canadian Psychological Association's (2018) response to the Truth and Reconciliation Commission of Canada (2015) there has been increased attention on the ways psychology in Canada might better serve the needs of Indigenous communities, in particular in terms of education and professional training. To date, there has been almost no research conducted at the intersection of Indigenous communities and professional training in psychology in Canada. This article examines this issue from the perspective of Indigenous psychologists who are working as scholar-practitioners in graduate level professional psychology training programs. Through first-person editorial reflections, the authors identify key challenges and opportunities in professional training in psychology relevant to Indigenous peoples; and the changes that are needed to advance Indigenous peoples in the field. Finally, the study identifies various paradigms of professional training that hold promise for serving the interests of Indigenous peoples in professional training in psychology. Public Significance StatementThis study identifies challenges, opportunities, and strategies for the advancement of Indigenous peoples in the field of professional psychology, particularly through the lens of professional training and education. In addition, the study considers how professional training can better support the preparation of Indigenous and non-Indigenous students and psychologists to address the mental health needs of Indigenous communities.

“…Others arise from regional universities, such as the problem‐based learning programme of Charles Sturt University (Kiernan, Murrell, & Relf, 2008). Publications from Manitoba (Dyck, Cornock, Gibson, & Carlson, 2008; McIlwraith et al., 2005), Nebraska (Hargrove, 1991; Hargrove & Howe, 1981), Mississippi (Wood, Miller, & Hargrove, 2005), Oregon (Campbell, Campbell, O'Friel, & Kennedy, 2009), Saskatchewan (Crossley, Morgan, Lanting, Dal Bellow‐Haas, & Kirk, 2008), and Hawai'i (Oliveira et al., 2006) illustrate both the common issues of factors related to geographic distance from metropolitan areas, but also unique characteristics caused by the particular rural environment can lead to notable differences across different rural geographies. The proportion of indigenous clients is often a factor in such differences, while in other cases, cultural differences among migrants to a community may become a particular issue in a different rural community.…”

Perspectives on Clinical Psychology Training by Students at Australian Regional and Urban Universities

Training in clinical psychology in Australia has become increasingly popular after coverage for psychological services under national Medicare was introduced. All regional universities in Australia offer clinical psychology training at the master's level, but little is known about how such training at these universities compares with training in larger, urban universities. Here, we report on results of surveys of clinical students and training directors at regional universities across Australia in order to contrast the perceived quality of training and various aspects of the nature of training. Responses from 190 students and all 35 directors of training show little difference in the perceived quality of training on several indices, with differences limited to the use of staff clinical research. Students at urban universities were less disposed to undertake a placement in a rural setting than those at regional universities.

“…The present special issue of course does not exhaust the Australian literature on poverty and disadvantage (e.g., Harvey & Delfabbro, 2004;Pedersen, Dudgeon, Watt, & Griffiths, 2006), let alone the research, theorising, and practice that speaks indirectly to issues around poverty and poverty reduction (e.g., Dyck, Cornock, Gibson, & Carlson, 2008;Kaplan, 2009). Within Australian Psychologist recently, authors have addressed these important themes.…”
