What are the best jobs that deal with babies/fetus in the medicine feild?
I have seen a couple of jobs such as neonatal, OBGYN, or a gynecologists'. I am wondering which is the most time consuming and with it being the most time consuming, does that mean that the pay grade is higher? I want to know this because I really like everything about this line of work and I don't think that any other position would suit me such as cardiovascular doctors or a orthopedic doctor. #nurse #health #doctor #medicine #pediatrician #phd
If I get a bachelor's of health science, and choose not to pursue a career in pharmacy, what other options are there?
I want to (or at least I think I want to) go into a program for a PhD in pharmacy to be either a pediatric or hospital pharmacist. I plan to either get my bachelor's of health science first, then apply to a graduate program for pharmacy or go into a 6 yr program while also obtaining my bachelor's of health science. With that said, if I choose to not pursue my path of pharmacy, what can I do with a bachelor's of health science? I don't like direct contact with patients due to my squeamishness (meaning I don't want to be a nurse or doctor or a PA). What career options do I have that are still high-paying? #health #career-paths #career-choice #hospital-and-health-care #healthcare #pharmacy #PhD

Can a clinical psychologist also be a psychology professor (at the same time)?
#psychology #professors #professor #phd Edit:- I thought it would be useful if I mentioned the country too (in which I would like to practice/teach). I think, most likely, the US.
Is psychology a good choice of career?
Hey! Let me tell you a bit about myself. I like helping people A LOT. Understanding and empathizing with people are my dominant qualities. I like learning about human behaviour and cognitive functions. When I'm in a group, I can really absorb the feeling of others, I know when someone is uncomfortable, insecure, troubled etc . it comes to me naturally. But I am not sure if psychology has much scope in the future, or if it is a job that people look up to. (I am also a big people pleaser. I know, I'm not proud of it. Sorry!) I am very sure that if I end up being a psychologist, I will be truly happy because emotionally supporting a person will not just be my job, It'll be something I love doing. #psychology #psychologist #PhD #advice #Career-choice
What are the main differences between a PsyD and a PhD in psychology? What do schools look at in terms of qualifications for acceptance?
I am a senior undergrad student getting ready to graduate with a B.S. in social sciences this December. I am interested in pursuing a higher degree in psychology, but would like to know the main differences between the PsyD and the PhD. I have heard the main differences are that research experience is necessary to be accepted into PhD programs and that PsyD programs are a little bit shorter in terms of years to complete. Are there any other major differences between the programs? How do I know which one is right for me? What are schools looking for in candidates applying to these programs and what can I do to increase my chances of acceptance besides a high GPA and decent GRE scores? Thank you so much! #phd #PsyD #gradschoolprograms #July #doctorate-degree
Is it a good idea to go PhD program from professional master's program?
I am a graduate student in a professional school. I began the program envisioning being a product manager, but I realized that I wanted to be a scholar than working for a business. Do you think it is wise to pivot my career and throw the investment that I made at the professional school and start over again? #graduate-school #college #PhD #Academia
Is it possible to complete a psychology PhD under a faculty member in a different department?
I'm looking into psychology graduate programs, particularly looking for researchers who study sexuality/relationships. People in this area vary in their actual department - for example, some are in sociology, communications, medicine, social work, etc. which vary pretty drastically from psych in terms of how the departments operate. If someone in a department like this is studying something I'm very interested in from a psychology perspective, would I be able to somehow complete my PhD under them? Can I do that by having a co-advisor in the psych department and if so, what might be the criteria for finding an advisor in psych? #psychology #research #grad-school #social-work #psychiatry #communications #sociology #graduate-school #phd #admissions #applications #college #medicine
How to handle having depression in a research career?
I'm looking to become a psychology researcher. I understand that research careers can be fairly stressful. However, I've also suffered from depression for a decade and expect I will still be dealing with it when I attain my career. How can I go about handling my illness while also successfully pursuing my passion? What kind of practices should I employ while on the job, and what mindset should I have? #research #psychology #mental-health #mental-illness #psychiatry #clinical-psychology #depression #stress #passion #science #brain-sciences #highered #phd
How to introduce yourself to a professor you want to study under in *grad school*?
I will be applying to Psychology Ph.D. programs this fall, and I was wondering how best to introduce myself to PIs I want to work with. For example: - What should I include in an email? - What should I say about myself? What should I say about them? - What questions do I need to ask them? #psychology #college #graduate-school #grad-school #doctorate #phd #interview #research #graduate #application #interview
