This webinar series, conducted in 2022, is one of a series of follow-up actions from the Building Bridges training conference (with videos also on this website), and informed by the input of students and future leaders in aging. The series brings together professionals from many different career settings to talk about their career paths and the work they do every day. Each webinar includes a panel of presenters who respond to questions about the educational and career journey they’ve taken and what their job looks like on the ground. Along the way, they offer advice on important training, clinical and research experiences, and how to navigate work/life balance.
Presented by the American Psychological Association Committee on Aging. Funding provided by Council of Professional Geropsychology Training Programs (https://copgtp.org/).
