Looking for clinical psychologists to interview for SDN's Q&As (example: http://studentdoctor.net/2011/11/20-questions-jennie-kaufman-singer-phd/). Anyone willing to be interviewed, or know of anyone who might be willing?

It looks like you are trying to get inside the head of some characters. Is that correct?

Not sure what you mean--these are just standard Q&As that we do for every medical career path...

Who are we? What sort of questions? Why are you asking? Are you preparing a manuscript, study, or article?

It's not as mysterious as you are making it. The OP works for SDN. This is the standard type of article that SDN writes online so students coming to the site can get a better idea about the careers available in medicine/psychology/general healthcare.

Hello Juliet,

I would be happy if you could interview a young clinical Ph.D in the field. Maybe contacting a new faculty from a top tier program.. While this list is not the most valid rating system
http://grad-schools.usnews.rankings...p-health-schools/clinical-psychology-rankings
any program in the top 50 or top 100 would be a good place to start. Or a Ph.D that just recently wrote a book, they are always up for free publicity. Here is a list of new publications from the APA
http://www.apa.org/pubs/books/index.aspx

Good luck, we actually have a thread about the last psychologist you interviewed on this board. That may provide some insight into what students would most benefit from.

The OP works for the SDN, I do not. Generally a fee accompanies an interview. Material gathered voluntarily may be bias by personal involvement in the study, The author of the OP's background suggests that she is gathering information for a commercial project.

Medicine, psychology, and general healthcare are not necessarily intertwined. In fact there are conflicts of interests among them which would require an in-depth review, rather than a cursory phrase or so.

This is a Q&A just like the example I posted in my initial request. Not a commercial project. Just a Q&A. Nothing nefarious. You can see several examples of these Q&As on SDN in various medical categories.

"We" is in reference to SDN, as I am employed by SDN to write these Q&As.

Thanks, but the posters on the forum are already perfectly well educated on research methods and the complexities of the field. We don't need a watchdog to protect us from employees of the network that hosts the forum itself.

I agree; I guess I just don't understand the immediate outburst of skepticism given that these types of Q&As are posted up at the top of the forums weekly, and don't represent anything nefarious or out of the ordinary for SDN.

We repeatedly talk about our need as a field to educate the public and other healthcare professionals about what we do, and what our unique contributions to patient care entail. This represents one such opportunity to do so. Hopefully one of our licensed and practicing bretheren will help the OP out.

Anyone else in clinical psych that is interested in sharing their experiences in Q&A form for SDN members, please contact me directly at [email protected]. Thanks!

I think it would also be great to see some interviews/perspectives from counseling and school psychologists at a doctoral level. They're practitioners too and are more or less (maybe slightly less) likely to see them in healthcare settings as well. I think future graduate students would benefit from knowing what other kinds of programs are out there (that school psychology is a thing!) and how their goals may be accomplished through a non-clinical psych (but still clinically oriented) path.

Also, I want to assure everyone that Juliet is legitimately affiliated with our SDN front page articles, so this isn't some scam or imposter situation. 🙂

You can check out Greg Hajcak at Stony Brook. He might be interested. He's pretty young and up-and-coming. I believe someone mentioned interviewing him a year or two ago regarding his studies.
