Given the competitive nature of MD/PhD programs, is it realistic to hope to get in anywhere after doing a postbac/gpa damage control or retaking the MCAT? I'm considering just trying to get into an DO program (or MD if possible) and potentially trying to do research as a clinician. For the...

Hi everyone! I'm a medical student in my final year and am completing a master's degree in Medicine and a master's degree in Epidemiology at the end of this semester. I think I want to become an internist-intensivist or a neurologist, still doubting between the two. Here in my country, if you...

Hi everyone! I am a South-Asian IMG, with a quite twisted experience and background. I am in my mid-thirties, and haven’t done any clinical practice in the past 7+ years. I migrated to Canada seven years ago and have become a citizen now. In the past years I have done a MS in epidemiology, and...

I am in my senior year, still have one semester before I graduate. I took my MCATs recently, and did not do well enough to balance out my mediocre GPA (503, 3.6) for Allopathic MD. I was already planning to take a gap year (or two) off. I am trying to figure out the best use of my time. I have a...

Hey everyone, I am currently finishing MA in US and will be moving to Canada soon. I will be applying for Clinical PhD program there, perhaps after getting some more research and practical experience. I'm not sure if it's the right place to ask, but do you know if any professors in Toronto...

Hello all! I was hoping to get some light shed on a few questions I had about JHU's MHS and Ph.D program in Epi. I can't seem to find my answers in the handbook they have online. If I'm admitted to the MHS program, can I internally apply for the Ph.D program? If I'm admitted into the Ph.D...

Hello all, I've tried my best to make sure that this isn't a repeat. Most similar threads seem to be in other fields than Psychology. I'm 26, and I graduated with a B.A. in Theatre in December of 2015. I was just recently rejected from the PhD program in Clin Psych at George Mason. It was...

I studied maths and economics as an undergraduate, and I'm currently doing research in economics. During my research, I stumbled upon the field of epidemiology while solving a model using survival analysis, and I've became interested in it. My apologies if this has been asked before, but my...

Hi everybody, Longtime lurker, first post! I am feeling slightly lost and welcome all advice. I am a non-traditional student (32/m) and have become interested in pursuing clinical psychology. I originally considered the LCSW path but have become more interested in a PhD; although my interests...

Hey SDN, I have some questions for you all about some of the research I've done. Throughout my undergrad, I took two research classes through my university that took me abroad to do my own field research in ecology (double major in ecology&evolutionary bio, and neuroscience). The first...

I am currently a junior in college majoring in Psychology and I've wanted to become a clinical psychologist since I was about 15. Before coming to college, however, I had no idea how competitive clinical psychology PhD programs are and the time commitment and amount of work they require...

Hey Everyone! I have a sort of unique dilemma, and I'd love to hear what you guys think is the best choice. I've been accepted to my in state DVM/PhD program, and also to RVC, Edinburgh, and Glasgow. Research is my primary career interest in vetmed so I was thrilled when I was accepted to my...

Is there a way to go from NROTC to USUHS for a PhD in clinical psychology? I know there is an option to go from NROTC to USUHS but I wasn't sure if that was limited to MDs

I am completing my first year in MPH now. I love the program but I was always a pre-med major in college and had always planned on medical school before I decided to take a different route. Now I feel like I miss some of the clinical experience because I think that public health and medicine...

This might end up being a bit long-winded. I really love bio - from molecular bio to ecology. I also really like using computational tools and mathematics to model systems and analyze data. I've had two computational research experiences - one in molecular systems biology and one in infectious...

Hello, I apologize in advance if this has been posted elsewhere. I am currently on internship and looking to take the EPPP during the internship year. Are you aware of any states that allow you to apply for the licensure process and be eligible to sit for the EPPP during internship aka before...

I'm guessing this is highly dependent on MPH vs. PhD, academia vs. industry, etc. Say someone has a PhD, would industry or academia be more suitable to someone who wants to travel and do fieldwork? I'm specifically interested in eco-epidemiology and the intersection between infectious disease...

Hello! I joined these boards looking for advice. I'm currently wrapping up my Master's in Clinical Mental Health Counseling. I'm semi considering a PhD but am not sure about many things or what my chances even stand if I could get into a program. For starters, I bombed my last year of...

I am currently a PsyD student and am preparing to apply for internships. My goal is to obtain an APA accredited internship, of course.

I'm applying to vet school this cycle and am planning ahead in case I don't get in. My GPA isn't the greatest (Cumulative 3.51; Last 45 3.24; Overall Science 3.36) so I'm considering getting a graduate degree to boost my stats before reapplying. Since I'm interested in eventually specializing in...

I've finally made the decision to pursue a Biomedical PhD. I have already taken the MCAT with a decent score and would like to begin a PhD program this coming fall. Most programs I am finding have deadlines in less than 2 months and require the GRE (I don't have the time to fit in studying) so I...

Hello All! I've looked around and found similar threads but none quite addressing what I'm looking for. Also, I know there's a place for "what are my chances" threads, but what I'm looking for is a bit more specific so hopefully I'm not in the wrong for posting this here. I'm looking to be a...

Hello all, I am interested in becoming a licensed psychologist (leaning towards masters as I am more interested in practicing, still considering a Phd or PsyD) and having my BCBA certification. I am looking for a single school that can offer me both. Help? Thanks!

Hello. I have a general question that might or might not affect my decision for future career path: can a person who has a PhD in any other area of psychology besides clinical (experimental, forensic, social, etc.) requalify to become a clinical psychologist (maybe with additional internship)...

So I am a non-traditional student and very new to this all. Thinking about going back or a PsyD or Phd in psychology. Some schools that offer PhD say "stipend first three years". What does this mean? Am I working for them to get this stipend during the first three years? Or am I just taking...

One of the main reasons that I am pursuing a PhD program is to fill a large research gap (Maternal Mortality and Morbidity in MENAP; mostly Farsi-speaking areas though). But, there's a large gap there because not many people are researching it, which makes finding faculty to talk to, and...
