Upcoming KAPA ZOOM CE event
Psychologists as Learning Leaders: Hindsight, Insight, and Foresight
Sandra L. Shullman, Ph.D.
American Psychological Association Past-President (2020)
Summary:
This presentation will focus on the role of psychologists as leaders, with special emphasis on our role as learning leaders. Dr. Shullman will describe the evolution of leadership concepts, the characteristics of learning leaders, the current context for psychologists as learning leaders and the challenges psychologists will address as learning leaders in the future. We all know how challenging the COVID environment has been for practitioners, especially given the increasing demands for services and the increasing weariness of the mental health work force.

Dr. Shullman will incorporate some of her experiences as APA President to illustrate examples.
