As a PsyD student in our lab, you will have the chance to participate in research related to reproductive psychology, though your primary focus will be on clinical training.
Expectations:
-
Workload: Be prepared for a rigorous schedule that requires balancing clinical responsibilities with research activities. Given the condensed nature of the PsyD program, time for research will be limited but valuable.
-
Clinical and Research Integration: While your main focus is on clinical practice, you will engage in research activities, contributing to our understanding of reproductive psychology and applying your clinical insights to research.
-
Collaboration: Strong interpersonal and communication skills are essential. You will collaborate with peers on research projects and provide support where needed, integrating your clinical perspective into research efforts.
This role is ideal for those who are committed to applying their clinical skills in a research context and are prepared for the demands of a fast-paced program while contributing to our collaborative environment.
