1 The 1984 to 1998 data for psychiatry are based
on American Psychiatric Association's (APA's) annual census of residents;
for 1998 to 1999, data are based on a 95 percent response rate from training
programs; and for 2000 to 2001, data were derived from the Graduate Medical
Education Database (AMA, 2001). Status as a full- or part-time trainee
in 20002001 was not known for eight trainees. 2 Numbers
for students are derived from the APA 2002 Graduate Study in Psychology.
3 Counts represent accredited programs only and responses to
surveys and therefore are an undercount of the actual students in doctoral
programs in psychology in the health service provider subfields. First-year
full-time is counted as new enrollments (no indication of full-time or
part-time status) in 1997-1998 and in 1999-2000. 4 For
the 1997-1998 data, doctorates awarded include Ph.D.s reported by National
Research Council as well as 800 Psy.D.s degrees estimated by APA's Research
Office. Psy.D.s are undercounted in this instance. In 1999-2000, 3,121
Ph.D.s in the health service provider subfields, plus approximately 1,000
Psy.D.s, are likely undercounted. 5 Different methods of
generating these data render longitudinal comparisons somewhat meaningless.
Readers are cautioned against treating these as a time series. They are
cross sectional and, in many cases, imprecise because of undercounting
and nonresponse. 6 Source: Lennon (2001). 7
1984-85 enrollment figure is an estimate. The number of full-time students
was 677 based on 35 percent of all master's students being full time.
This number was estimated to reflect an expected 1,257 part-time students.
8 1984 and 1989 data contain students enrolled in both advanced
clinical practice and teaching. The sum of enrollments in advanced clinical
practice and teaching make up the universe of master's stu dents in psychiatric
nursing. According to P. Rosenfeld, Director of Research at the National
League of Nursing (NLN), rarely will a psychiatric nursing student be
classified within any of the other avail able classifications for graduate
students. 9 For the period 10/16/97 to 10/15/98, unofficial
and unpublished data are from the NLN. 10 These 2001-2002
enrollment and graduation figures are from a different data source from
prior years. The 2001-2002 data are from the American Association of Colleges
and Nursing (see Berlin, Stennett, & Bednash, 2002. Also see Berlin, Stennett,
& Bednash, 2003). This report is based on an 81 percent response rate
from baccalaureate and graduate programs in nursing. The actual numbers
reported from these schools is adjusted for nonresponse, resulting in
the numbers reported in this table. The numbers include clinical nurse
specialists (CNSs) in adult and child psychiatric mental health nursing
and adult and family psychiatric nurse practitioners (NPs). 11
Based on Hollis (2000). Declines from 1994-1995 may be due in part to
a more strict definition of counselor preparation programs in this edition.
12 1994-1995 data were estimated on the basis of several sources,
including students enrolled in programs accredited by American Association
for Marriage and Family Therapy (AAMFT) Commission of Accreditation for
American Association for Marriage and Family Therapy (COAMFT); student
members who are not in COAMFTE-accredited programs, but are in programs
of regionally accredited insti tutions; and AAMFT associate members. The
associate membership category is for those who have completed their educational
requirements but have yet to complete the clinical supervision require
ments of their training. Data for 1997-1998 are more reliable than those
previously reported for 1994-1995; they are based on a survey of 216 MFT
training programs by AAMFT, March 1998. Data for 2000 based on 2000 AAMFT
Practice Research Network (PRN) project funded by CSAT. Data were collected
from a random sample of AAMFT clinical members with an 82 percent response
rate of eligi ble participants. |
