Abstract：
This review aimed to identify the post-graduation training pathways available for both clinicians and trainers in the assessment and diagnosis of Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). The study was guided by two research questions: What is known about ASD-specific educational, training, or other pathways available to support clinicians of any discipline, post-graduation, to meet the required expertise relevant to assessments of ASD concerns? What is known about the educational pathways available to clinicians seeking to provide training to other clinicians, post-graduation, in the assessment of ASD concerns? A scoping review was undertaken with searches completed across five databases (PubMed, PsycINFO, PsycEXTRA, ERIC and CINAHL). A Google search strategy was also executed using the \"advanced\" search function. Eligible records were literature, written in English, that examined post-graduation training and/ or education of clinicians to assess and/ or diagnose ASD. Fourteen relevant records were identified. Post-graduate training has the potential to enhance clinician confidence and service provision in ASD assessment and diagnosis. System-wide training approaches show promise in building large-scale, diagnostic capacity and the use of tele-mentoring offers a cost-effective, convenient mode of training delivery. A lack of evidence to support ASD diagnostic training pathways was found and may pose a challenge for clinicians and service users. The limited evidence found suggests that high quality research will be fundamental in determining how to build clinician capacity in ASD assessment and diagnosis and to ascertain whether training pathways are a necessary component.
摘要：
这篇综述旨在确定临床医生和培训师在自闭症谱系障碍（ASD）的评估和诊断中可用的毕业后培训途径。这项研究以两个研究问题为指导：关于ASD特定教育的已知情况，培训,或其他可用于支持任何学科的临床医生的途径，毕业后,满足与ASD问题评估相关的所需专业知识？关于寻求向其他临床医生提供培训的临床医生可用的教育途径，毕业后,在评估ASD问题时？进行了范围审查，在五个数据库中完成了搜索(PubMed，PsycINFO,PsycEXTRA,ERIC和CINAHL）。还使用“高级”搜索功能执行了Google搜索策略。符合条件的记录是文学，用英语写的,检查毕业后的培训和/或临床医生的教育，以评估和/或诊断ASD。确定了14条相关记录。研究生培训有可能增强临床医生对ASD评估和诊断的信心和服务提供。全系统培训方法在建设大规模、诊断能力和远程指导的使用提供了一个具有成本效益的，便捷的培训交付模式。发现缺乏支持ASD诊断培训途径的证据，这可能对临床医生和服务用户构成挑战。发现的有限证据表明，高质量的研究对于确定如何在ASD评估和诊断中建立临床医生的能力以及确定培训途径是否是必要的组成部分至关重要。
