Available for booking by professional organizations, clinics, associations, and training programs.
Workshop Overview
Working with Psychometrists: A Comprehensive Guide to Working With Psychometrists and Building Your Assessment Team
Psychometrists are central to a thriving assessment practice, yet most psychologists are never taught how to hire, train, supervise, or structure their relationship with one. The result is too often the same: trial-and-error onboarding, uncertainty around employment classification, and assessment services that never quite reach their potential.
Drawing on decades of experience as Canada's largest and longest-standing group of PhD psychologists, this workshop offers a practical, real-world roadmap for integrating psychometrists into your practice and building a strong, sustainable assessment team.
Rather than abstract theory, this session delivers clear, actionable guidance whether you're hiring your first psychometrist or scaling an established assessment service while maintaining quality and long-term value.
