Expanding Pediatric Psychology: Perspectives of International Trainees
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Culturally appropriate, evidence-based assessments and interventions are necessary to reduce mental health and pediatric psychology disparities worldwide. Currently, there are limited opportunities for psychologists from other countries to learn clinical skills in the United States and adapt evidence-based practices to their home countries. The purpose of this paper is to share the personal perspectives of pediatric psychology international trainees and highlight opportunities for future training. We will also review how training programs may be adapted to ensure the successful dissemination of culturally applicable, evidence-based approaches in the trainees’ home countries. Considerations for training international trainees and future research potential are also discussed. A current Japanese trainee who intends to return to his home country (Japan) and a former Emirati trainee who recently returned to his home country (United Arab Emirates) reviewed the current state of pediatric psychology in their countries and shared their personal training experiences in the field of pediatric psychology in the United States. By highlighting different international trainee perspectives, we have recognized that there is a need for ongoing research that addresses how our current training guidelines support international students in pediatric psychology. International trainees in pediatric psychology are well positioned to have a positive impact in their home countries and support the global outreach of evidenced-based psychological assessment and intervention. It is crucial that the field of pediatric psychology commits to training international trainees appropriately so that they can contribute to reducing mental health disparities worldwide. Implications for Impact Statement Of psychology interns, 4–7% do not have American or Canadian citizenships, and many of them plan to return to their home countries and contribute to pediatric psychology by disseminating evidence-based practices globally. Reflecting on international trainee experiences highlights opportunities to support both their training in pediatric psychology and their transition to their home countries.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
