Psychosocial/Clinical Research Practicum V

Catalog description

This practicum is designed to provide students with a supervised research experience with a faculty member of the Clinical Psychology Program. The practicum will be divided in two main components: lecture/didactic activities and practicum/experiential hands-on opportunities. It is expected that the student will spend from six to ten hours per week on practicum related activities including direct research experiences. Although some lectures will be provided on practical research issues, most of the time of this research practicum will be spent in developing skills with data collection, data analysis and development of research reports and/or publications. Students will participate in different aspects of the research projects assigned including; articulation of research questions, literature review, selection of sampling techniques, formulation of design strategies, development of data gathering instruments and other methods of data collection.
