research background?
I received a comment to my last blog asking if a research background is necessary for this program. Speaking from personal experience, I would say that a research background is not necessary. I didn't have any experience with research before starting this program (I was a clinician), so this was all new to me. However, this program is really grounded in research and takes you through the research process step by step. In fact, although I didn't really know much of anything about research when I started the program, I am planning to go into a full-time research career upon graduation. :)
