Next up! TH110B- A seat at the table: professional competencies define roles and value of psychologists in #pedpc! @PedsPCTF members @RachelKentor and Amanda Thompson & Sarah McCarthy! #hapc23
Competencies help standardize roles and practice requirements for #psychologists in #pedpc and highlight the important and unique contributions they bring to the interdisciplinary team. #hapc23
PPC Psychology workgroup was formed of 9 peds psychologists, then reviewed by 15 multidisciplinary stakeholders to create competencies. Here's how they did it: #hapc23
Most salient things to know that peds psychologists bring to the #pedpc team: 1. Assessment - assess multiple domains of factors that can impact kids with serious illness 2. Intervention- evidence based biopsychosocial interventions to improve QOL #hapc23

Point 2. Psychological safety is critical to team wellness. (@AmyCEdmondson)
Defn: If you speak up, there is not a threat that you will be punished.
When people need help, they ask.
People can process mistakes, dissent, name problems even when hard. #hapc23
Speaking of @PalliativeQual - do you do palliative care?
Do you follow the Palliative Care Quality Collaborative? No time like the present! Twitter is still here!
