Monitoring & Compliance Associate

The Office of Program Consultation and Accreditation (OPCA) facilitates the APA-Commission on Accreditation’s policy development and program review for the accreditation of master’s, doctoral, internship, and postdoctoral programs in health service psychology. Monitors program compliance with accreditation policy between periodic reviews (all levels – Master’s, Doctoral, Internship, Postdoctoral), with focus on interim reporting, substantive changes, and threshold/fiscal changes. The Monitoring & Compliance Associate conducts high quality reviews of psychology program compliance reports and provides consultation on the Standards of Accreditation (SoA) [all levels]. Applies the SoA in conducting compliance reviews; serves as a key leader during CoA meetings; and composes detailed correspondence regarding accreditation decision outcome feedback, which may reflect negative decisions that pose legal implications and require legal consultation and review. The Monitoring and Compliance Associate must operate with an awareness of the confidential nature of accreditation information and program materials to avoid putting the office at legal risk.
