Let me start first......I just finished my first year in the clinical psychology program at a Canadian university. My interest is in health psychology and hopefully can pursue research and practice in this area.

Hey Cici (and other clinical psych grad students),
What kind of research are you (will be) doing? I'm looking at the development of self-regulation (cognition-emotion-arousal interactions) in kids and how it's affected by trauma and chronic stress.

I am currently working on my thesis. I am completing a masters degree in Guidance and Counseling at the state university. (University of Puerto Rico, that is...) My theme is related to using the expressive arts in group counseling with girls who have been sexually abused.
Next august I'm hopefully entering a clinical psych program, so, if you guys don't mind, I'd like to participate in this forum. I think it would be nice to share info and opinions with people not only from mainland USA, but from different parts of the world.
Also, if any of you know about clinical psych forums on the internet, (for students, professionals) let me know.
Medical School has always been on my mind, but I'm currently having so much fun with my psychology classes, I dont think I am going to switch to medical school (not at this particular time of my life ) I think the psych residence in Puerto Rico is more focused on medications only; I really would like to do psychotherapy too)
Nice to meet you all!

PsyD4me said:Hi JRB,
Since you are in the field. What are the salary ranges you've seen for neuropsychs in hospital vs. private practice? Any diff in adults vs. pediatrics?
Thanks
laxyhead said:Hello everyone!
I just recently started posting on this forum, but everyone has already been extremely helpful in answer my questions.
I am currently a finance major taking many psychology classes. I'm hoping to go into clinical psychology when i graduate in may.
I'm interested in culture, women's mental health issues such as eating disorders, body image, and health psychology.
Can someone tell me a little about industrial or organizational psychology? Coming from a business background I've begun to entertain the possibility of this specialty. Thanks!!!
Hey, I've already posted a new thread, but I suppose I should also introduce myself here! Hopefully people are still reading/looking for new people. I'm a 21 y.o. rising senior at Skidmore College majoring in psychology and looking to apply to clinical/counseling phd/psyd programs in the fall. And currently studying for the GRE general test, to be followed by the subject test in the early fall.cici said:Let me start first......I just finished my first year in the clinical psychology program at a Canadian university.

twiggers said:Hi all...my name is Naomi and I'm starting my senior year this fall at a UC (in California)...am a psychology major hoping for clinical but after reading so much dismaying news about how competitive it is I may change my mind.
twiggers said:Hiya psycho, not giving up..just depressed by it Took me 27 years to figure out what I wanted to do....but I believe that both clinical and developmental will fulfill those goals. Psychology as a whole is just so interesting to me that I have such a wide variety of interests within the subject, and either program will allow me to explore those interests. Sometimes the whole process of figuring out your life can get a person down
PublicHealth said:jojomo,
Could you tell us more about your path to medicine? What made you decide to pursue medicine after receiving graduate training in clinical psychology? Are you interested in psychiatry?
In keeping with the topic of this thread, I have a BA in Psychology, am currently pursuing an MPH, and am interested in psychiatry. I also have an interest in clinical neuropsychology and psychological assessment.
Cheers!
