Sounds like you may be talking about a State Psych Association conference in Boston. I think APA only holds one annual conference (hence the name annual :) ) and it is always in August. But there are always lots of conferences held by different organizations. She hould have opportunities to network. I agree with maaah. Start with her faculty members. I will show my personal bias here, but I woul dencourage your d to look at the Ph.D programs (research-practitioner oriented programs) before looking at the Psy.D. programs maaah alluded to above. Alll in all, I believe a better education and training experience will be gotten in the university-based Ph.D. programs. Again, thisis clearly my bias- sorry if I offended any Psy.D.'s out there. If your d plans to go into Clinical or Counseling, it is very hared to get a good internship spot too- and I think students from Ph.D. programs have an edge over some of the Psy.D. candidates.Of course this varies from programto program-- I am speaking in generalities.</p>
