In 2010, an interorganizational effort among the American Psychological Association, the Council of Graduate Departments of Psychology, and the Council of Chairs of Training Councils, known as the Health Service Psychology Education Collaborative (HSPEC), was initiated to address mounting concerns related to education and training for the professional practice of psychology. Given that professional psychology includes diverse areas of practice and the mounting concerns about psychology's role in a reformed health care system, HSPEC chose to focus on preparation of psychologists for the delivery of health care services and made seven recommendations that constitute the core of a blueprint for the future. These recommendations require significant changes in graduate education-changes critical to the future of psychology as a health profession. As part of its work, HSPEC developed a statement of core competencies for the preparation of health service psychologists, integrating feedback solicited through public comment and review by the psychology community, including education and training councils and APA governance groups. The articulation of these competencies serves to inform not only the preparation of health service psychologists but students, employers, regulators, and policymakers as well. It also reflects the discipline's commitment to quality and accountability in the preparation of its workforce. HSPEC recognizes that its recommendations to strengthen the core preparation and identity of health service psychologists will result in some limitations on degrees of freedom at the program level but believes such limitation to be in the service of coherent and uniform standards for education and training. This blueprint supports the evolution and development of the profession within a scientific context. It supports standards as meaningful, versus minimum, indicators as part of the profession's obligation to the public. The blueprint also calls for the profession to develop a mechanism for systematic monitoring of progress, challenges, and opportunities to ensure that psychology as a health profession meets societal needs.
2010 年，美国心理协会、研究生心理学部门委员会和培训理事会主席委员会之间开展了一项跨组织工作，称为健康服务心理学教育协作（HSPEC），旨在解决与心理学专业实践教育和培训相关的日益增长的问题。鉴于专业心理学包括实践的多个领域，以及对心理学在改革后的医疗保健系统中的作用的担忧，HSPEC 选择专注于为提供医疗保健服务做准备，提出了构成未来蓝图核心的七点建议。这些建议要求对研究生教育进行重大变革——这对心理学作为健康专业的未来至关重要。作为其工作的一部分，HSPEC 制定了健康服务心理学家培训的核心能力声明，整合了通过公开征求意见和心理学界的审查，包括教育和培训理事会以及 APA 管理机构的反馈。这些能力的阐明不仅为健康服务心理学家的培训提供了信息，也为学生、雇主、监管机构和政策制定者提供了信息。它还反映了该学科在其劳动力培训方面对质量和问责制的承诺。HSPEC 认识到，其加强健康服务心理学家核心培训和身份的建议将导致在计划层面上限制一定程度的自由，但认为这种限制是为了教育和培训的连贯和统一标准服务。这一蓝图支持该专业在科学背景下的演变和发展。它支持将标准作为有意义的指标，而不是最低指标，作为该行业对公众义务的一部分。蓝图还呼吁该行业制定一个系统监测进展、挑战和机遇的机制，以确保作为健康专业的心理学满足社会需求。
