Carmen Caruthers: Student Intern Summer 2011

“Overall, my experience as a summer intern with Dr. Mount at the Maya Angelou Center for Health Equity was enlightening, educational, and beneficial to my development as a student and future professional. Not only did I have the opportunity to work under a very knowledgeable neuropsychologist, I was exposed to the different facets of the field of psychology. I witnessed group therapy sessions, listened to panels, and last but not least, had the opportunity to actively participate in the beginning phases of a research project. In addition to these experiences I developed a CV that will continue to grow as well as picked up a few skills that are necessary for a psychologist to have, such as working with SPSS and scoring a variety of personality tests. In the end, working in the Maya Angelou Center for Health Equity thoroughly enhanced my knowledge of and interest in the field of psychology.”
