One placement, with <a href=\"https:\/\/can01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com\/?url=https%3A%2F%2Ffaunalytics.org%2F&amp;data=05%7C01%7CChristyBurt%40cunet.carleton.ca%7Ca4b61019b6644ad2d82008dadd3d4018%7C6ad91895de06485ebc51fce126cc8530%7C0%7C0%7C638065552374043584%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C3000%7C%7C%7C&amp;sdata=Fix2GNN%2BSuTvOLhlcfLO94FlXWhh8UV0ev7eh%2BiIfWU%3D&amp;reserved=0\">Faunalytics<\/a>\u2014a non-profit organization that conducts research to directly support individuals working in animal advocacy\u2014was research-based. I used both qualitative and quantitative methods to analyze data, prepared figures and tables to assimilate statistical\u202fdata, handled and protected confidential data and information, and reported results to a general audience. This allowed me to develop my knowledge translation skills. My second placement, with the <a href=\"https:\/\/can01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com\/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fontariocaregiver.ca%2F&amp;data=05%7C01%7CChristyBurt%40cunet.carleton.ca%7Ca4b61019b6644ad2d82008dadd3d4018%7C6ad91895de06485ebc51fce126cc8530%7C0%7C0%7C638065552374199789%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C3000%7C%7C%7C&amp;sdata=wwp3bkOhwl8yYXycodJ0iqRVsXunjNlB7DjiNncGpgE%3D&amp;reserved=0\">Ontario Caregiver Organization<\/a> (OCO)\u2014a non-profit that exists to support Ontario\u2019s informal caregivers\u2014was more focused on program development. I took part in program planning, implementation, and evaluation. I also piloted a new intake tool with informal caregivers and adapted it to meet the needs of the OCO. I have made positive, life-long connections through my placements. I have also had the opportunity to experience different workplace cultures and receive feedback on my performance outside of academia, which is invaluable. I highly recommend the Practicum in Psychology!<\/p>\n<p>Fast forward to 2026, I\u2019m thrilled to share that I recently stepped into an acting role with the OCO as the Acting Program Lead for Peer Support and Young Caregiver Programs. This experience has reinforced just how valuable practicum placements can be, not only for skill development\u00a0but for opening doors to meaningful\u00a0career opportunities outside academia.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Course PSYC 5903\/6903 Practicum in Psychology Course Instructor Dr. Michael Wohl Term Fall, Winter OR Summer Email Address p&#114;&#x61;&#x63;t&#105;&#x63;&#x75;m&#112;&#x73;&#x79;c&#104;&#x6f;&#x6c;o&#103;&#x79;&#x40;c&#117;&#110;&#x65;&#x74;&#46;&#99;&#x61;&#x72;l&#101;&#x74;&#x6f;n&#46;&#x63;&#x61; Course Description: The practicum offers\u00a0graduate students the opportunity to gain experience in a range of applied psychology settings with the goal of integrating academic and practical aspects of psychology.
