How does everyone view the importance of diverse training experiences at the cost of varied quality? I will be beginning a new neuropsych practicum at an AMC and none of the supervisors are board-certified, they don't adhere to AACN consensus standards with utilizing performance validity measures (none!), use of descriptive ranges, etc., the current postdoc did not attend an APA-accredited internship and the site in question does not have an APA-accredited postdoc. I feel like my previous practicum sites had training more aligned with AACN standards and expectations.
I'm trying to keep an open mind but I have concerns about the quality of training. If anyone here had similar experience, how did you deal with it? Just suck it up, learn what not to do, and move on when you had the chance? The advocate in me would love to be a force for change, yet I don't want to ruffle any feathers.
