We invite those involved in the educating and training of psychology students in a predoctoral, internship, or postdoctoral clinical child and adolescent or pediatric psychology setting to consider ABCCAP board certification as a demonstration of your competence and as a model of professional development.
- For our current board-certified specialists, we value your contributions to our shared objective. We invite you to remain connected with ABCCAP through various opportunities, including participation in examinations and board service. Engaging with the board offers a chance to network with other specialists, shape the future of our specialty, and support the next generation of practitioners. Your expertise and dedication are critical to maintaining the standards of excellence that define our field.
