AMP has an alliance with the National Alliance of Professional Psychology Providers (NAPPP). NAPPP shares a common ground with AMP regarding the importance of advocacy in the profession of psychology as well as the importance of educating psychologists about the business of practice. AMP encourages you to join NAPPP. Members have access to free CE credits in medical psychology, psychopharmacology and many other practice related subjects. NAPPP also offers an online RxP training program that leads to the Professional certificate in Clinical Psychopharmacology. Information of NAPPP can be found on their website .

Practice Accreditation

Accreditation can provide your practice with prestige and lets everyone know that the way you practice conforms to the highest quality in behavioral health care. Find out about the benefits of practice accreditation and how to get your practice accredited by the National Institute of Behavioral Health Quality. Their specialized program for doctoral level psychologists can be seen on the NIBHQ website HERE

Research Network

CarePaths (www.carepaths.com) sponsors Practice Research Networks (PRNs) through its collaboration with research and clinical training organizations. Currently, CarePaths is sponsoring a number of PRNs, e.g. the Association of Directors of Psychology Training Clinics HERE and the Outdoor Behavioral Health Industry Council HERE and now has agreed to provide a PRN for Medical Psychology. Practice research networks offer a group of organizations the opportunity to pool data for a variety of purposes, including quality improvement and benchmarking, advocacy, and clinical research. Borkovec, for instance, writes that PRNs are needed now in clinical psychology because of the 'increasing pressure to produce evidence that therapies we provide are in fact beneficial' and to answer questions about the effectiveness of psychotherapy.' A Medical Psychology PRN can help establish what we have been touting as a superior model of care by carrying out rigorous experimental investigations in naturalistic settings that allow for unambiguous conclusions about effectiveness. This will be a free benefit to Fellows of the Academy as long as the research project is underway.
