As a student or early career psychologist, having the right tools at your disposal to navigate the complexities of starting your new career is imperative. Research conducted by The Trust’s Student & Early Career Psychologist (SECP) Committee showed that students and ECPs get very little exposure, if any, to risk management skill development that helps reduce risk when you become licensed. The Trust has developed this Risk Management Training Curriculum to complement what you’ve already learned in the classroom. While most students receive excellent ethics training, there aren’t always aspects of risk management built into that training. We saw a need to help fill in those gaps and demystify the challenging areas that often come up for new psychologists, and have added a 5-module series focused on diversity, equity and inclusion. Normally priced at $210, this 2-part series consists of 12 modules in total and is being provided free of charge with every Trust Student Liability or Pre-licensure Professional Liability insurance policy. Why? It’s simple. The more educated our policyholders are in managing their risk, the less likelihood there will be of a future lawsuit or licensing board complaint. The Trust feels very strongly that knowledge is power, and this program covers a wide range of important considerations and practice know-how to ensure you begin your career on solid footing. Go here to start your own policy today.
