Pre-Conference
Session Description (for use in the program and for marketing purposes)
Are current students, interns and graduates adequately prepared to enter the workforce? Does their education include the development of professional behaviors that are expected? The primary outcomes of this session will be to understand the discrepancies between education and practice.
This interactive session will explore these questions from the perspective of the educator, clinicians and current research. Participants will learn strategies through which educators and practitioners can facilitate students’ transition from academics to the workforce.
