The American Psychological Association (APA), under the oversight of the Board of Educational Affairs, and the Board of Professional Affairs, is responsible for the education and training of psychologists in prescriptive authority. All APA standards and guidelines are required by Association Rule 30-8.3 to be revised at least every 10 years. The standards for training psychologists in the safe and responsible practice of prescribing psychotropic medication have been recently updated (Model Education and Training Program in Psychopharmacology for Prescriptive Authority, APA, 2019). A departure from the 1996 and 2009 versions of that document is that training may now be conducted at the doctoral level; however, a postdoctoral supervised clinical fellowship can only occur after the attainment of licensure as a practicing psychologist. Two novel features of the 2019 revision are the use of a competency-based model of learning and assessment, and increased emphasis on supervised clinical experiences in physical assessment and medication management. By the time of completion of their fellowships, practicing psychologists are expected to have clinical competence in the measurement and interpretation of vital signs; neurological examination; therapeutic drug monitoring; systems of care; pharmacology; clinical pharmacology; psychopharmacological research; and finally, professional, ethical, and legal issues. The updated standards were approved as APA policy in February 2019. This article briefly reviews the revision process and highlights the updates made in the most recent version of the standards.

修订后的2019年精神药理学培训标准：处方药精神药理学教育培训示范项目。

美国心理学会（APA）在教育事务委员会和专业事务委员会的监督下，负责心理学家的教育和培训。协会规则 30-8.3 要求所有 APA 标准和指南至少每 10 年修订一次。最近更新了在安全和负责任的精神药物处方实践中培训心理学家的标准（处方权威精神药理学教育和培训计划，APA，2019）。与该文件 1996 年和 2009 年版本的不同之处在于，现在可以在博士级别进行培训；但是，只有在获得执业心理学家执照后才能获得博士后监督的临床研究金。2019 年修订版的两个新特点是使用基于能力的学习和评估模型，并更加强调身体评估和药物管理中受监督的临床经验。在完成研究金时，执业心理学家应具备测量和解释生命体征的临床能力；神经系统检查；治疗药物监测；护理系统；药理; 临床药理学；精神药理学研究；最后，专业、道德和法律问题。更新后的标准于 2019 年 2 月被批准为 APA 政策。本文简要回顾了修订过程，并重点介绍了最新版本标准中所做的更新。（PsycInfo 数据库记录 (c) 2020 APA，保留所有权利）。
