Hey guys! I'm going to be a reapplicant this coming cycle, so I've been searching for jobs for a very long time. I was looking for clinical jobs because I have low hours. Thankfully I have two job offers, but both aren't very clinical. I can't keep looking for other jobs, so please help me decide which one I should take to boost my app.
1. Behavior Tech: Working with autistic population ranging from children to adults, I basically visit their home and train/educate them to improve their social and play skills through ABA therapy. It is likely that I won't be working with physicians. I'm getting mixed opinion that this is a clinical job. If I do get a job, it is going be my primary clinical experience.
2. Patient Services Rep: Working at a community clinic for underserved population. The job description basically matches that of a front desk clerical work (answering calls, signing in patients, explaining prescriptions...etc.) Although I could describe this as clinical, I'm not sure how ADCOMS would see this.
I'm Psych major so I guess it makes more sense taking BT job, but if I do work as a PSR, I will be helping my own ethnic group doing various work, such as translating. So I guess both has advantages.
What do you think?
