摘要：
There is a growing need for professional psychology training in nursing home settings, and nursing homes provide a rich environment for teaching geropsychology competencies. We describe the nursing home training component of our Department of Veterans Affairs ( VA) Predoctoral Internship and Geropsychology Postdoctoral Fellowship programs. Our training objectives for Interns and Fellows include: increased exposure and interest in nursing home practice; increased competencies in assessment, intervention, and consultation in this setting; and increased confidence in the role of the psychologist in medically oriented, geriatric care settings. We describe the local VA nursing home training setting and our training model, including expected competencies, training activities, special issues in supervision, and evaluation of competencies. We have found group supervision and peer support to be an important component of our nursing home training program. The VA healthcare system allows great flexibility for psychologists to provide both psychological services and training in the nursing home setting. (C) 2005 by The Haworth Press, Inc.
