The Clinical Psy.D. Program<\/a> on the Chicago Campus has been home to a unique program since 2007. Research Clerkship has proven to be so advantageous to students, that it has been expanded to include every student enrolled in the Clinical Psy.D. Program instead of just those in the child and adolescent major area of study group as originally intended.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe envisioned Research Clerkship as a mentorship process that would provide students with support in developing research skills and acumen,\u201d said Tom Barrett, Ph.D., department chair. \u201cDuring the 2007 cohort\u2019s fourth year in the program, however, all of the child and adolescent track students successfully matched for internship and nearly 70% of them obtained APA accredited slots. Noticing their success, we decided to make Research Clerkship available to all of the students in the program.\u201d<\/p>\n

The strategic move proved to be a smart one. When the 2011 cohort sought internships this past winter, 91 of the total class of 92 were successfully matched for internships and 65% matched with highly sought-after APA<\/a> positions. \u201cWe had one of our most successful years yet,\u201d said Dr. Barrett.<\/p>\n

Research Clerkship begins for incoming students almost before they step foot on the campus. During the summer, prior to their arrivals, students receive packets of information describing the clerkships being offered by faculty members. Hitting the ground running the first week that they\u2019re on campus, they attend the department\u2019s clerkship fair where they are matched with a faculty mentor with whom they will work to conduct research or scholarship projects.<\/p>\n

\u201cResearch Clerkship is a two-semester-long, first year course. However, most second year students and many third and fourth year students remain involved as unpaid \u2018research assistants,\u2019\u201d commented Dr. Barrett. \u201cWe don\u2019t know of any other program that offers the course.\u201d<\/p>\n

In addition to publishing articles from research conducted, by the time they graduate, many students have presented posters or workshop presentations at conferences — locally, nationally and internationally.<\/p>\n
