Join us for the first annual WSH Doctoral Consortium, which is a full-day experience designed to support doctoral students in occupational health psychology as they navigate key aspects of their academic and professional journeys. Through sessions on effective teaching, research development, career pathways, and professional service, participants will gain practical insights, connect with experienced scholars and practitioners, and explore opportunities to make a meaningful impact in the field. We hope to see you there!
Effective Teaching Practices
This interactive session will explore strategies for designing and delivering impactful courses in occupational health psychology and related areas. Participants will discuss approaches to course structure, creating engaging learning environments, and innovative activities like collaborative grading or team-based learning.
Building Your Research Pipeline and Navigating the Publication Process
In this session, participants will gain practical insight into developing a coherent and sustainable research pipeline. Discussion topics will include setting research goals, managing multiple projects, and refining day-to-day research habits. The session will also demystify the publication process, from journal selection to responding to reviewer feedback, with tips to help early-career scholars publish consistently and strategically.
Career-Focused Session: Academia, Industry, and Everything In Between
This session will focus on career development across academic and applied settings. It will include guidance on job searching, understanding the nuances between academic and industry roles, and strategies for job crafting and finding career fit. A “speed mentoring” segment will allow attendees to rotate through small-group discussions with professionals from a range of career paths, including research-intensive academia, teaching-focused institutions, industry research, and applied OHP roles.
Professional Service & Making Your Mark in OHP
Getting involved in the OHP community can enrich your doctoral experience and open doors for future leadership. This session will highlight the value of professional service, including reviewing, committee work, and society involvement.
