Research and Scholarly Activities
The University of Minnesota ranks within the top three public research universities in the United States according to the University of Florida Report on Best American Research Universities.
Most Internship faculty are actively involved in clinical research and professional writing projects. It is the philosophy of the Internship that research and clinical activity inform each other. Interns are expected to review and understand scientific literature pertinent to their clinical activities. To facilitate interns further professional development in accordance with the scientist-practitioner model, interested interns are encouraged, but not required, to participate in research during the course of the year through collaboration with an Internship supervisor. Research involvement varies, and can include: empirical studies in which data is collected during the Internship; analyses of data sets of Internship or University of Minnesota faculty; or scholarly literature reviews of areas related to interns professional interests and the Internship.
The specific objectives and scope of interns research activities are to be clarified and negotiated with supervisors. Issues of authorship are determined in accordance with the APA Ethical Principles of Psychologists and Code of Conduct. The demands of clinical services and training generally leave limited time available during usual working hours for research. Interns work on their dissertations is on their own time rather than during working hours. Administrative leave is available for scholarly presentations, including dissertation defense. Interns are encouraged to make professional presentations. They may have an opportunity to present their research at the Annual Meeting of the Minnesota Psychological Association. Interns have found the MPA forum (arranged by MAAPIC) to be a professionally rewarding experience, an opportunity to refine professional presentation skills, and a chance to network in this region.
