Student Leadership Network
The Student Leadership Network (SLN) Committee represents the needs of rehabilitation psychology trainees within the larger Division. We define trainees as including students, interns, and postdoctoral fellows. We are committed to connecting rehabilitation psychology trainees with one another as well with opportunities for professional advancement.
WHAT IS THE SLN?
The SLN is an organization that is comprised of rehabilitation psychology trainees from institutions across the country that is led by the SLN Committee.
The SLN is comprised of individual trainees who have joined our email LIST, as well as institutional representatives and institutional chapters.
The SLN email LIST is the foundation for our organization and serves as a forum, where trainees can communicate with one another. Members of the SLN Committee often share information about opportunities for research funding and leadership participation on this LIST, so be sure to subscribe!

To establish a network of rehabilitation psychology trainees as well as a leadership pipeline to engage rehabilitation psychology trainees in leadership participation early in their careers.
