| Abstract: Balancing clinical and academic careers can be challenging, but also rewarding. The current presentation focuses on the career trajectory of scientist-practitioners, with specific emphasis on ways in which research, teaching, and practice can be successfully merged and leveraged to cultivate a reinforcing career that not only allows one to practically impact children and families, but also expand that impact towards future generations (trainees), and the broader scientific community. Attendees will gain an understanding of: (a) what it means to be a scientist-practitioner, (b) ways in which to leverage their expertise in both academic and clinical arenas, and (c) ways in which to benefit the public at large, while also establishing multiple streams of income. |
| Instruction Level: Basic |
| Target Audience: Graduate students in school psychology, applied behavior analysis, and related disciplines; early career professionals with backgrounds in applied behavior analysis |
| Learning Objectives: At the conclusion of the presentation, participants will be able to: (1) discuss diverse careers in psychology and applied behavior analysis; (2) discuss what it means to be a scientist-practitioner; (3) discuss ways in which to leverage expertise in academic and clinical arenas, as well as for establishing multiple streams of income. |
