I'm kind of panicking when I read about how many of you have co-authored publications.and I don't know if the research experience I have is good enough.
I started volunteering as a research practicum student last month at a behavioral health hospital, but my supervisor says that it takes 12-16 months to get a study ready for publication....And I would like to apply to Ph.D programs this fall/winter with the deadlines in Dec./Jan.
Then, there's my senior thesis in undergrad and I did a poster presentation for that. I don't know if this counts either, but I worked at a place called the National Research Organization of Chicago (NORC) as a phone interviewer/data entry, but the research studies were medical in nature.
What else is there to do? I wish I knew about volunteering at the hospital last year, so at least I could have co-authored something by now....Maybe I will e-mail my supervisor at my diagnostic practicum and see if she can help me hop on to a project. I think my intership site does research studies as well. Are there any student psychology magazines that will take student submissions..I don't know if that helps lol.
Any advice would be appreciated, thanks.
P.S. I like to get everything done on time, so I don't think I'm someone who wants to take a year off after getting my master's degree to help build up credentials. I would rather just stick with my Psy.D program at Argosy instead of taking a year off.
