Guidance for Applying to the 2012 Training of New Trainers is Now Available
The 2012 MINT Training of New Trainers (TNT) will be held from September 10 - 12, 2012 in Fort Wayne, Indiana (USA). A call for applications will officially open in mid-March, 2012. At that time a link will be provided where those who are interested can submit their applications online.
The application questions and evaluation criteria to be used by the review committee are now available to help prospective applicants prepare their responses in advance. The application questions can be found under Training > Pathways to Membership.
New This Year: We are now requiring an MI work sample as part of the TNT application. These samples will be MITI coded and all applicants, regardless of whether or not they are accepted, will receive detailed feedback. In order to defray the cost of coding and feedback all applicants will be charged a non-refundable application fee of $100, to be paid at the time of application. Applicants who are not accepted will also receive recommendations for how to achieve expected standards in an application for a future TNT. More detailed information will be available in the TNT application.
Please note that the TNT workshop is designed to help skilled MI practitioners enhance their MI training skills, and expects applicants to demonstrate their skillfulness in delivering the clinical method of MI.
Applications will be reviewed in the order they are received. The first 120 applicants (3 groups of 40) to meet criteria for the TNT will be admitted to the training. A short waiting list may be retained in the event that an approved candidate withdraws prior to the beginning of training. We recommend that people prepare their application in advance and have it ready for when applications open as demand for places is usually high.
Please feel free to share these questions with your colleagues and trainees who may be interested in attending this year's TNT.
