<p>NJ113-
Here's the link to APA's education information (info on graduate programs)<a href="http://www.apa.org/ed/graduate/homepage.html%5B/url%5D">http://www.apa.org/ed/graduate/homepage.html</a> This is a good place to start. Have your d take a look at the APA approved programs. There can be different approaches or areas of specialization in the faculty. For example, I wanted a program that was affiliated with or housed in the medical school, and had a stron neuropsychology orientation. Other programs may be housed in or affiliated with othjer programs. Does she know if she wants Clinical Psych, Counseling Psych, Ed Psych?? At any rate, APA the best place to start. If she sees something she likes, she should email the faculty whose research she is interested in. They are always looking for students to help with their research, and making a connection is good. If the person she is working for has relationships with anyone from their own grad training program, thats great too. The personal relationship is helpful. </p>
<p>If she happens to be near SF, the APA annual conference is coming up in August (warning- it is HUGE). She might want to look into the student programs and talk to students who are attending or presenting at poster session. If you need some information that is in the "members only" section of the APA website, PM me and I will see what I can do. (However, I will be away with limited access tot eh computer until next week.) Hope this helps</p>
