How to Find Practicums Outside of Your Program’s Current Affiliations
No training program can offer a student all possible training opportunities before they leave the safety net of supervision and embark on their own journey as a psychologist.
Sometimes, if your program will allow, it is necessary to seek experiences outside of current academic affiliations.

Mental Health Medicaid: Caring for Clients who Earn “Too Much” Money
As a child, my family did not have a lot of money. In fact, we regularly struggled. I know there were periods of time that we went without health insurance. While we had some major medical problems during that time (we sought care at the University Hospital), we were, for the most part, mentally and physically healthy.
I did, however, have some friends who were not able to seek mental health treatment due to not having health insurance. Sure, they could go to the hospital, but routine care was not in the cards. In the state where I lived, only pregnant women and children were eligible for state Medicaid—regardless of income.

1. “Chunking” Your Hours
A good way to get a bunch of hours into Time2Track is to chunk them into groups. For example, let’s say you did 60 hours of individual therapy in the spring of 2009. Most of those were 1-hour sessions, but with different individuals. And unfortunately, you weren’t keeping track of those individuals. Not to worry. Here’s what you do:
10 Things to Consider When You Start Tracking Your hours
