Graduating and Practicing: Planning for Your Career as a Practitioner

Division 42 and APAGS would like to invite you to attend a pre-convention workshop discussing practice issues relevant to students/early career psychologists. You may be asking, “How can I emerge from graduate school, flourish as a new psychologist and create innovative ways to practice?” This program answers these questions and much more. Panelists will discuss ways in which students can continue to prepare themselves for graduation, transition from student to professional, and meet the needs of the changing demographics throughout the country. Panelists will also discuss personal and professional experiences as they relate to the creation of practice opportunities, meeting the needs of a diverse population, taking care of oneself throughout this process and the establishment of professional relationships. This program focuses on helping students and early career psychologists identify ways in which they can begin to build personal opportunities within their own areas of interests.

$10 registration fee payable at the door. To reserve a seat, please email Betsy Horrocks.

Presenters:
F. Jeri Carter, Ph.D., Washington School of Professional Psychology, Argosy University-Seattle

This program is designed for undergraduate APAGS members and all students who plan to pursue a doctorate in psychology, but do not know if they will seek a PhD, PsyD, EdD, or combination degree (PsyD/JD or PsyD/MBA, for example), and may lack clarity about the distinctions between areas of study, such as clinical, counseling, school, developmental, experimental, and blended programs. The goal of the program is to help students choose a doctoral program that offers the best fit with one’s career goals. It also will cover the broad scope of program options across both applied and research programs. There is no fee for this workshop. To reserve a seat, please email Betsy Horrocks.
