Abstract:
Reports an error in "Supervising and supporting trainees with disabilities in the Veterans Health Administration: An overlooked but critical need and opportunity" by Rebecca C. Wilbur, Emily M. Lund, Angela M. Kuemmel, Sheena Balolong Publico and Lauren R. Khazem (Psychological Services, 2023[May], Vol 20[2], 306-317). In the original article, in the article title and throughout the article, "Veterans Administration Healthcare System (VAHCS)" should have been "Veterans Health Administration (VHA)." These changes do not alter the conclusions of this article. The online version of this article has been corrected. (The following abstract of the original article appeared in record 2022-55811-001). Trainees with disabilities are chronically underrepresented in psychology and face many barriers throughout their training. Directors of Clinical Training and supervisors within the Veterans Health Administration (VHA), one of the largest employers of trainees with disabilities, have a unique opportunity to address this area of critical need. However, they must first understand the barriers facing psychology trainees with disabilities in VHA settings, including discrimination in trainee selection, barriers to obtaining reasonable accommodations, and attitudinal and cultural barriers. In this article, we illustrate how those barriers may present in VHA settings specifically and provide suggestions and frameworks for how the VHA can create accessible, disability-affirmative training environments in which trainees can truly thrive.
