I'm thinking of the official CPA one with the average time to completion, internships match rates, fees etc. I believe all accredited programs are required to post but I haven't been able to find it...

Neurotic_Lily Posted January 24, 2021 Share Posted January 24, 2021 Hello! I was invited to attend the McGill clinical interview day and I was wondering if anyone has any tips on how to best prepare. The day will involve interviews with several faculty members, an orientation with the clinical training director, a clinical training panel, and a chance to meet with graduate students. What do y'all think will be involved in each part of the day? How many interviews should I expect? What's a clinical training panel? Any help is appreciated (I'm pretty stressed if you couldn't tell)!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was encouraged by a place I did an internship at to reach out for jobs in case grad school plans don't work out post-graduation (it's a rehab clinic and I did biofeedback and psychoed groups with the clients; if I returned I'd be working as a psychometrist), however I've been getting LinkedIn notifications for jobs and I've found some other really good positions that I qualify for. I was planning on beginning to actually send inquiries in about mid-March or so... is that still too early? I just don't want to be lounging about unemployed for too long after graduation, I fear I'll slip into post-grad depression if I do haha. I took a couple years off before starting my current master's program and I remember starting to apply [to psych lab research positions] around March/early April to avoid the rush of graduating students who will also be looking at the end of April/early May. Not sure what everyone else's experiences have been but I would def recommend applying formally around then. I honestly think any time starting now-ish is totally reasonable to start feeling it out by reaching out to potential places you'd like to work! It's worth it to see if they anticipate having positions/if these places are even a fit for you? carlrogersfan98 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been looking around, but haven't seen any postings. Do you just email the labs to ask, or do they typically post somewhere? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I was applying, I just searched "University of x jobs" and you will typically find opportunities there. If you live in an area with research hospitals (CAMH for example has TONS of research assistant jobs), then that's also a good bet! Again not sure if others have different experiences, but from what I've seen, it's harder to find paid employment by emailing labs or PIs directly because if they had the funding, they would probably have posted a job haha. But if you wanna get some volunteer experience under your belt/can't find anything paid, I've had a lot of success emailing labs and asking if they need volunteers!

I also just got an interview from McMaster RCT program!! I'm a little terrified because interviews will just be 20-25 minutes in front of the admissions committee. Has anyone here ever done a formal interview that was that short? Also, the email said that these were the "first interviews" for the program. I wonder what this means. Maybe they will they have another round?? OhPsych, T.O.hopeful, gumbaline and 10 others 13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regina77 Posted January 25, 2021 Share Posted January 25, 2021 Did anyone here apply to both clinical and counselling programs? and if you did what were your reasons? ..or any current counselling psychology students on here please tell us about the counselling program? if you like it? how you get practicum sites? does the program help or you have to find on your own? I know it's self funded but any chance of grants? if interested in a PhD later have you done a qualifying paper? what does that entail? I applied to OISE counselling & psychotherapy. And also to OISE clinical. I just wonder if current students who start the counselling program later wish they had applied to/or waited to instead get into clinical? especially when housed in same dept like OISE!

I'll add, I'm not sure if you are an international student, but I would also inquire as to whether any of these programs are/will accept international students. Sometimes it is outlined on the program website and sometimes it isn't. Due to (I think covid?) many schools this year aren't considering international students. I wish this was more clear, because I think it's still possible to submit and pay for an application as an international student, even though they won't consider your application. Something to consider if you plan on applying in the fall! Good luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
