In addition to 6 CEs, participation in the Media Training Workshop will give you the opportunity to learn from seasoned media experts how to present your message professionally.

PARTICIPATION IN PEM MEDIA POOL
(MEMBERS COURSE FEE ONLY $245):
The PEM Committee needs you! Increasingly, media outlets are hungry for psychological content. Print, television, radio, and internet-based and social media are interested in providing their audience with scientifically-based research on relevant topics in issues concerning personality, marital interaction, child rearing, and intellectual assessment. Psychologists need to be able to parse scientific data and present it to the media in brief, bullet form without losing scientific rigor, while ensuring that the information they present cannot be distorted to harm the consumer or the profession of psychology. This training will teach participants how to deliver meaningful and ethical content, while looking and sounding their best on camera. The PEM Committee will subsidize half of the cost of the training that includes the 6 CEs and practice video if you are willing to participate in the PEM Media Pool of psychologists on call to represent SDPA to media when requested. It is asked that you agree to participate over a two-year period of time. You may or may not be called during the two-year period depending on the final size of the PEM Media Pool and the number of media requests during that period.
In addition to 6 CEUs, participants in this training will:
- Create a professionally produced 3-4 minute video in which they will discuss their area of practice or expertise useable for their website and as an example of their on-camera presence for interested media outlets;
- Learn how to develop a story line based on recent research;
- Gain experience in creating a brief summary of the relevant research and “talking points” that allow the interviewer to assimilate the data and ask relevant questions;
- Become aware of how to avoid possible ethical pitfalls and to maintain ethical boundaries.
The training will provide:
- Didactic instruction,
- Personal coaching in small groups,
- On camera coaching,
- Professional makeup for the video clips,
