Program Description: Pathways in Psychology: Finding Your Career Specialty
We will feature a panel of psychologists from different areas of the psychology profession. Some career areas included will be private practice, university counseling centers, hospital settings, and mental health centers. The panelists will discuss and respond to questions about their graduate school experiences, what led them to their current career, and what a typical workday is like for them.
The event is focused on doctoral students, especially those who are still early in their graduate school journey. Our hope is that the personal information provided by our panelists will be helpful to students in deciding what area of psychology they would like to pursue for their career. In addition, students can learn what types of clinical and other career experiences they might pursue to reach their goals!
