<< f anyone has seen actual proposals of what the post-doctoral training
 for psychologists would include, I would like to see them  >>

My graduate program at the Illinois School of Professional Psychology -
Chicago launched the first prescription program at a university last year.
 It is a post-doctoral program that is taught by pharmacists, psychiatrists,
physicians, osteopaths and other experts.  The prgram is based on the
Department of Defense's Psychopharmacology Demonstration Project.  After
training, the students do a one-year, on-the-job training program - during
which they work under a psychiatrist at least 15 hours a week and see at
least 100 patients.  This internship, but called a preceptorship, entails 750
hours.  Some of the courses covered include physiology, cardiology, brain
anatomy, physical assessment, and pharmacology.
