| Graduate training typically involves instruction on the skills required to conduct research and engage in clinical practice. However, careers in psychology also rely on additional skills that ofen are not included graduate curricula.
I have a long-standing commitment to professional development training. This page offers some resources that hopefully will be helpful for students at all levels of training. See also recent publications in this area and the clinical program Professional Development Seminar.
For some general
advice regarding the graduate application procedure, download
"Mitch's
Uncensored Grad School Advice." The most recent version of this document includes tips on interviewing (previously a separate document called, "I Just Got an Interview for a Clinical Psychology Doctoral Program, What Do I Do?").
Two other terrific documents written by my graduate students also may be of use. For excellent advice on when to apply/how to get post baccalaureate experiences, see "Before You Apply" written by Casey Calhoun. ), For a student’s view on the application process, see "Tips on Applying to Graduate School" written by Sophie Choukas-Bradley.
Many people ask for information on how to choose a graduate program. These documents may prove useful:
