Abstract

A profile of implementation strategies for funding postgraduate training programs using local or state resources is described. The need for those implementation strategies as well as basic principles for successful implementation is documented. Two programs are briefly described-a University Affiliated Program (UAP) in western New York and a UAP in Missouri-as the basis for generating implementation strategies. Finally a discussion is provided reviewing the strengths and weaknesses of these strategies. © 1987.

Trainee stipends from the state and voluntary agencies are usually based on professional salaries, and are hence in excesso f stipends granted by most federal funding sources. The models also foster expansion and utilization of community sites for field placements, thus widening the trainee’st reatment and assessmento pportunities. Yet placement at the community facilities for only 20 hours a week still allows sufficient time for trainees to assimilate the information and experience to which they have been exposed. Students are also able to take the theoretical information that is presented in the structured University setting and see its application within the community facility.
