Research Opportunities

[smartypants14]

Hi everyone,

  as the applications are starting to open up, i am feeling a bit uneasy. I will have a 3.5 GPA in my major with a psychology degree as well and i have a lot of experience. I was hoping if anyone knew where i could possibly go to get some research experience to add onto my resume? or some TBI volunteer experience?

 

Thanks!

Hey Smartypants,

 

Where are you currently doing your undergrad/post-bacc? There are a lot of ways to find research opportunities. I would suggest going through your faculty database and see who is conducting research at your University presently. If that doesn't open any doors, look into local hospitals and clinics. If you are lucky enough to live near a University Hospital, they have tons of volunteer opportunities available. I have been able to get a research position on an ADHD study and am now a candidate to do additional research in my University with autistic children (if everything goes well).

 

Are you applying for Fall 2014? Where are hoping to go?
