Just curious: Do you , as an international #DClinPsy trainee have an honorary contract during your training?

Would love to hear your experiences, as some universities offer Service Level Agreement (SLA) instead of a contract. Feel free to share or comment. #DClinPsyTraining

@dafinahazman Congratulations! All the best with your trainings ❤️

The @BPS @DCPPreQual Alternative Handbook was published yesterday. To save others the trouble, I've collated the data for the "Friends & Family" test. This measure can fluctuate but I do think it provides useful info esp. alongside the text responses (1/2)

Re-tweeting this ! Thought might be helpful for any #dclinpsy #psychologists in the UK.

I’m trying to create a list for international #Dclin trainees to understand the common acronyms use in #NHS. However, I only have three years of exp working in NHS and it is based in the southwest. I remember feeling very lost during my year 1 [1/3]

Was one of the panels for international #dclinpsy trainee interview- lots to learn and reflect ! I had mine in 2018 and I was lucky to have 4 offers … glad that I chose #ExeterUni !

Food for thought: Neurodiversity is not just for those we work with

Received this email from one of the international applicants and YES , the chances for an international applicant to be accepted to the #dclinpsy programme is around 1-5% and it varies every year! Just because we are self-funding, it doesn’t mean we have special treatment.

[Dr Sam Yong @SamYong85]

@DrAyseA_ Do look after yourself ! Hope you get better soon!!!

[Dr Sam Yong @SamYong85]

Similarly, I wonder how many trainees from the BAME/minority background able to successfully graduate from the DClinPsy? Any idea where I can get the statistic? Some courses has failed a number of int. trainees…I wonder why? We have different needs and haven’t been seen?

[AccidentallyACT @AccidentallyACT]

I really want DClinPsy & related courses(I.e. PWP, CAPs, etc) that use diversity as a selling point to be held accountable and be brutally honest about why they can recruit and not KEEP diverse staff.
Why didnt your diverse students graduate with their White colleagues?

[Dr Sam Yong @SamYong85]

@jason712 I’m trying to access the documents again , however can’t seem to get it work. A number of international applicants have approached me and ask about the Differences of the programme . Thought this would be a good resources to share with them .

[Dr Sam Yong @SamYong85]

@GoodThinkingPs1 Happy to share! And I believe a lot of int. trainees have stories to tell to 😊

[Dr Sam Yong @SamYong85]

I was reading this book #TheClinicalPsychologistCollective by Dr Marianne Trent from @GoodThinkingPs1 . A lot of inspiring stories and definitely recommend to all aspiring CP. it is hoped that it could have international #dclinpsy trainees’ voices as well…

[Dr Sam Yong @SamYong85]

@GoodThinkingPs1 A lot to reflect while reading the book and it always good to have a cosy environment to support it.

[Dr Sam Yong @SamYong85]

@Juliet_Young1 @AccidentallyACT Love this! I worked with refugees/aslylum seekers for 5 years before training. Despite which country they reside , they face multiple challenges . Trauma from human rights violation as well which often not talk about in psy field.

[Dr Sam Yong @SamYong85]

@DrTarynT @BlurtAlerts Thanks for sharing! It’s really helpful. Will forward to other international trainees as well :)
