Clinical Psychology
The Clinical Psychology community explores research related to mental illness/disorders, mental health treatment, and psychopathology of individuals across the lifespan. Clinical psychology is interdisciplinary and can intersect with various fields such as neuroscience, cognitive psychology, and social psychology. We encourage interns to dive into research that they have particular interest in (e.g., child psychopathology), share their findings, and collaborate with other interns. This internship is designed to motivate independent research, gain research skills such as analysis and interpretation, and work towards conducting research. 1Cademy allows interns to present their research findings, gain feedback from other interns, and learn how to communicate their findings in a concise and articulate manner.
