Scholarly Activities

Psychology residents and fellows engage in a variety of scholarly activities. In addition to research electives, psychology residents engage in leadership projects and fellows work with a mentor on a scholarly project of their choice. Leadership projects aim to enhance psychology residents' understanding of complex issues facing a clinical service or education program, and expand their ideas about contributions psychologists can make. 

Fellows choose a scholarly focus that may involve the development or evaluation of a program or practice.  At the conclusion of the training year, interns and fellows present a poster about their project at the Psychiatry Department’s Trainee Poster Day in June. This event is a 'jewel in the crown' of the education mission in the Department. Trainees in psychology, psychiatry, and marriage and family therapy present their work to faculty, staff and community members during two hours of informal conversations, fun and food.
