      • How participants can apply this knowledge in practice or other professional contexts.
      • Continuing education in psychology must be grounded in an evidence-based approach.
      • CE programs that are focused on application of psychological assessment and/or intervention methods must include content that is credibly supported by the most current scientific evidence.
