Abstract

This study utilized a previously developed rubric to measure APA benchmarks in psychology graduate students' clinical practice during simulated patient encounters. In addition, PsyD students completed self-reported measures of performance skills and confidence. At baseline, students showed average competency levels and moderate self-perceived skill performance but relatively elevated impostorism.
