About the Program

Experts from across Minnesota will gather together to discuss their experiences, insights and predictions for where the professional practice of psychology is headed in our state, providing valuable insight on starting, joining or participating in exciting alternative practice models.  You will begin to think more boldly about your own practice and more optimistically about the important role that psychologists are and will be playing in healthcare in Minnesota and across the country.  Whether you are working in a large healthcare organization, in a solo or group private practice, or just starting out in your psychology career, the topics that will be addressed by our panels of health care attorneys, health insurance executives and psychologists who are creating successful practices, will inspire and motivate you to get moving toward practice innovation and integration with nuts and bolts answers about how to make that happen.  

Throughout the day, attendees will:

  • Gain valuable tools to help you deliver services in different practice settings
  • Meet, network and collaborate with peers and potential partners
  • Identify innovative ways to bring psychology to healthcare and improve patient care
  • Identify legal and risk management issues and get expert answers to your questions
  • Earn 6 total hours of APA-sponsored continuing education credit
