The APA PENS policy supports doctor participation in interrogations, a practice that the American Medical Association, the American Psychiatric Association, and other health and human rights organizations have declared is unethical and in violation of good standards of healthcare. http://ethicalpsychology.org/pens

I don’t know about you, but I’m so tired of hearing about the same law and ethics (they don’t change that frequently). So, I’m proposing a new format that will fulfill the law and ethics requirement. Case presentations. 10 participants must submit (well in advance, like within the next week or two) a case that presented challenges in law and ethics. This will be a 6 hour workshop, accredited with CE units. So your presentation would be about 30 minutes (give or take a few). Here is the outline, and following you will find my presentation to give you an idea of what we want. I think it will be interesting and clinically relevant. Brief Case History: Cannot contain sufficient information that the patient would be identifiable (we live in small communities, and it is an APA ethics requirement). Course of Therapy: What happened, how did the patient react, how did you react to their reactions. Ethical and Legal Dilemmas: Site the ethical or legal regulations that were apparent, or subsequently became apparent. This could be because you thought therapy was going well, and the patient subsequently accuse you (rightly or wrongly) of doing harm. How did you resolve them?” What did you do, and what was the outcome? Case Discussion: (of other class participants): How would you handle it differently? What do you agree with? What do you disagree with? Required of You: (1) A current Curriculum CV.
(2) A written case presentation, as outlined above.
(3) Willingness to discuss the case, the ethical, legal, and regulatory issues that evolved. Remember: Peer review (which this is) frees you of any prosecutor processes. It is in the law (Business and Professions Code Section 809.05): “It is the policy of this state that peer review be performed by licentiates.” |

MCEP Accrediting Agency
1231 I Street, Suite 204 • Sacramento, CA 95814-2933
(916) 286-7980 • Fax (916) 286-7985 • www.MCEPAA.org MCEP PROGRAM CHANGE
Next year (2013) the MCEP Accrediting Agency will cease operations. One of the most immediate repercussions for you will be the Board of Psychology’s (BOP) audit program and how you personally manage your record keeping. (For the full text of these changes, please see the BOP’s website.)
Currently, the BOP audits for compliance through the Accrediting Agency. As of January, 2013, licensees will be randomly audited directly by the BOP. This means that all individual psychologists will be responsible for proving compliance and providing all CE documents to the BOP upon request.
Many psychologists have asked for continued access to the security of having off-site CE record storage and the convenience of having knowledgeable staff to track, evaluate and monitor compliance as well as a readily available human resource if an audit request is received. CPA is looking at creating a fee-for-service program for psychologists looking for support to meet this new record keeping requirement. We are exploring two service plan options and would love your feedback.
The Basic Plan would:
1. Track, record, and store your CE documents.
2. Review documents and assess for compliance with CE renewal requirements.
3. Provide you with unlimited copies of your documents upon demand.
The Premier Service Plan would, in addition to the Basic Plan:
1. Monitor your records and proactively work with you to establish compliance in advance of your license renewal date.
2. Notify you of any changes in the CE requirements.
3. Supply CE documents to the BOP and act as an advocate during a CE audit.
4. Supply documents to meet a credentialing requirement from a hospital or insurance panel upon request.
5. Provide unlimited consultation if there are CE compliance issues
Please help us assess interest in these Service Plans by completing a very brief, three question survey available the MCEP Website (www.mcepaa.org). Just click on the Reporting Form Option. If you have any further questions, please do not hesitate to contact us.
