Ok.I am currently a college senior. I am certain that I would like to pursue a doctoral degree in clinical psychology. I will graduate next semester with a B.A. in Psychology with honors. I think I am a moderately strong candidate currently - I have a 4.0, almost perfect GRE scores in verbal and math (will be taking psychology subject test soon), moderate research experience - 2 publications in peer review journals, a presentation at an international conference and another coming in the next semester. I would like to gain more practical and/or research experience in clinical psychology to make me a stronger candidate for graduate school and for assistantships for financial aid. I am probably pursuing the Psy D option, so research is important but less vital.
My question is, what recommendations does anybody have who is fairly knowledgeable in the field for my next 1-2 years? Research assistantships, internships, teaching, some kind of job in a mental health hospital, etc. Money isn't a huge deal. It would be nice if they were paid enough to live, but I would even consider some unpaid options if they are awesome. What kind of position could I realistically obtain that would enhance my candidate profile? What resources (i.e. databases) could I use to find something. Any other tips? Any information would be greatly appreciated.
