The Candidate Connection
The Candidate Connection, the newsletter of the APsA Candidates’ Council, focuses on issues important to candidates by candidates. Candidates in training themselves report on the business of the Candidates’ Council, its committees and Institute delegates. Each issue has a specific theme (topics covered have been clinical writing and finding control cases). There is usually a theme-centered article and comparison of how the topic differs from institute to institute.
