How realistic is it to be able to do research AND clinical work with a Clinical Psychology PhD?

I am very interested in both clinical work and research when it comes to psychology and I am not exactly sure if I could chose one over the other at the moment. Is it possible to do both? How difficult will it be to manage compared to doing one or the other?

Hi Rodhy,

That is totally doable! Most psychologists I know at universities also have a private practice or are part of a group practice. You need to aim for a research position or professorship at a university for the research part. You may have to fund your own position through research grants though. You'll need to negotiate with your university how to split your time.

I hope this helps! All the best to you!
