Hello! I was wondering, if I don't have any research experience, what would I put in place for that? I am currently an undergrad. I will be graduating in the spring, and I wanted to go from my Bachelors' to my Ph.D. (the programs in Texas have the master's built-in). Thank you so much for this informative video
Hi great question! It depends on what the program thinks. A lot of students ask the programs that they are thinking about applying how important research is in the application process. Typically most Ph.D. programs will prefer to see students with some research experience, but there also might be other things in the application that make up for it like clinical experience, high gpa/gre scores, or letters of recommendation. So it really just depends, but finding out how much importance schools place emphasis on research might better help to figure out the solution. Hope that helps, best of luck!
Hi Phil, I’m curious as to what ethical concerns you may have with teleneuropsychology since it’s rise in popularity over the last year. Also, any journals you absolutely love? I’ve been digging through the clinical neuropsychologist for these articles bc there’s been no luck with others for this topic. Take care!
Hey great question! Teleneuropsychology is definitely a hot topic right now. Working alongside a neuropsychologist in his group practice has made me realize the value of how important in-person neuropsych testing is for patients. What's been amazing is that they've navigated COVID by providing for a very safe, and protective work environment in reducing the possible transmission of the virus. I honestly can't imagine doing some of the neuropsych testing virtually, and I think recent research articles have found a huge discrepancy in the results for virtual vs. in-person. However, when it comes to in-take sessions, feedback, clinical interviews, and report writing for patients, this has all been effectively done virtually. So, regarding my personal opinion as a neuropsych student, I think there's value for some assessments to be in-person while other forms of treatment can be done virtually.
I also don't know of any journals of the top of my head but I'll definitely ask around! The podcast you told me about, "Navigating Neuropsychology" has been awesome listening to and I don't know if you know but they mentioned a book "Becoming a Neuropsychologist Advice and Guidance for Interested Students and Trainees" John Bellone, Ryan Van Patten, that came out this year, I'm excited to possibly check that out because there might be some good stuff in there.
I agree! I didn’t have much research experience or publications. People applying straight from undergrad may have fewer CV pages which is perfectly fine! Admissions aren’t looking for length and quantity of experience more so quality of experiences
Here is the link to the CV template that you all can download! Best of luck this application season! philsarpong.com/cv-graduate-school/
Thank you so much! I don't know how many google searches I did trying to find a CV template but it was actually meant for jobs.
This was so helpful!! Super clear on differentiating between CVs and Resumes
This is a wonderful video! I really needed a video like this for my CV when I was applying to grad school 😂

It makes it hard to for a CV to be 3+ plages if a student doesn’t have publication and/ or research experience.

Do they care about memberships to journals?
It def doesn't hurt, but not a requirement. Certainly looks good though
