Examples of appropriate topics include (but are not limited to): evidence-based supervision approaches, establishing a private practice, academic productivity, manuscript review and publishing for the general public. Examples of less appropriate topics include: methodological or design issues, or grantsmanship (these presentations may be more appropriate for AMASS)
