Hi everyone, I will be going into my internship this coming fall. I've had wonderful conversations with my future TD re: the direction of my training and am lucky to be in a specialty track that allows for plenty of autonomy when it comes to choosing clinical activities. I'm looking ahead and have been developing a list of post-doc sites (apologies in advance for how obvious the answers to my questions might be), I had a few (really a lot) of questions about the next steps and hoping you can all indulge me --
1. For those who searched outside of the APPIC site, what other resources did you use (i.e., what other resources are there beyond division listservs/appic postdoc listserv)?
2. How has your pre-doc and post-doc experience differed most significantly for you in applying for positions and in practice?
3. If I am interested in working specifically with oncology patients (older adults); should I broaden my search to all sites that provide primary care/health care training THEN negotiate working with this particular population, or should I be specific in my search? If my goal is to specialize with a particular population, would working with that population for only a small percentage of my time in postdoc be a hindrance?
4. For those interested in ABPP -- what has been the best way to keep of track hours, CE, and clinical experience for application to ABPP?
5. I am about to defend my dissertation and plan to take my EPPP during internship year, are there drawbacks in doing so?
6. Also, what study materials has been most helpful? I've been looking at the AATBS materials.
7. Lastly, when looking at my CV (I went straight from undergrad to gradschool), I lack administrative/leadership experiences and this has been the most elusive for me in terms of training and practice. I will be providing supervision for the first time in internship, but I am also interested in a career in directing programs along with clinical practice. I've been lurking in the forum for a while and see that a lot of you have extensive experiences in directing agencies and training programs -- what types of clinical work/administrative work in internship/postdoc has allowed you to mold your experience towards this direction?
