Are you wondering about what is a common pathway to a doctorate in psych?

I was putting off doing an article review this morning and wasting a few minutes on twitter and came across this info-graphic on @APAEducation. I thought this might be something folks in the forum would be interested in seeing/would be beneficial to normalize the process.

I wonder, do the master's figures include people who completed a (non-terminal) master's as part of their doctoral studies? If not, this could be a little misleading.

My assumption would be no for exactly that reason. I just asked to clarify because I just assumed...

I wish the numbers were broken down a bit better to exclude the predatory schools because I don't consider their admission patterns to be reflective of the type of psychology training that we promote here (i.e., good training).

And you were right....

This is why I shouldn't assume. Honestly, I expected more clear information from APA.

That's my bad. I'll own it.
