I'm currently finishing up my 4th year as a neuroscience major and up until a couple of months ago, was set on going the med school route. I've been lucky enough to shadow in different specialties and found the experience to be awarding but realized (too late) that my heart just wasn't set on medicine anymore. I'd prefer to do something more therapy orientated. Call it denial/graduating nerves but I just can't believe that I'm about to submit my petition to graduate yet have no idea what I want to do. So, I've been doing some research and found out about clinical psychology. I've taken a couple of psychology courses for my minor (health care) and for general interest and truthfully, found them to be far more interesting than my major courses. Because of my interest and background in neuroscience, I'm particularly interested in neuropsych. Are there any clinical neuropsychologists who are on the forums who are willing to share about what a day in their life is like? What are your primarily interested in? Who are your patients in general? Would you change careers if you could go back in time? Did you choose a PhD program or a PsyD program? Why?
