SPA Grand Rounds

This Grand Rounds program is a new initiative that aims to address the current educational and training needs of our membership community, and to support those involved in the study and practice of personality assessment in expanding their expertise and awareness of new developments and trends in the field.

The Grand Rounds program is included as a free resource for SPA members but will also be accessible to non-members for a low fee. Click here to become an SPA Member!
