Many of the School of Psychological Science's faculty members are involved in ongoing research projects. During your first year in the PsyD or master's program you will have the opportunity to learn about each faculty member's specific areas of interest and current projects. PsyD students are assigned a faculty advisor based on their expressed area of interest when applying to the program. Because those interests frequently change upon exposure to new ideas presented by faculty during classes and counseling sessions, PsyD students will have the opportunity to change faculty dissertation advisors if those interests change over time. Even though many faculty members are actively engaged in research projects, they are always willing to help students with specific research projects in their area of interest.

Hate standardized tests? Sorry, but there is no way out of the GRE requirement for admission to the School of Psychological Sciences doctoral or master's programs. And you need to score well to be competitive with the majority of our applicants.Took the GRE, but it was long ago? Sorry, but if it was more that five years ago you will have to do it again.
What score must I get? If you scored below 500 on any part, you really need to do some more studying and try to improve your scores. Our average scores for the incoming class of 2008 were 600 for the doctoral (PsyD) program and 520 for the psychology master's programs on the verbal, quantitative and psychology subject sections of the GRE. You don't have to take the GRE Psychology Subject test, but scoring well can give you an advantage over someone who did not take the test or someone who did not do too well. If you don't score well, it will not count against you, so just DO IT!

Nursing Program
Welcome to the School of Nursing blog! In this discussion, we want to talk about the fantastic opportunities in nursing, and the options to join the nursing profession at the University of Indianapolis—known as UINDY.
Nursing is a GREAT career choice!
First, did you know that nursing is one of the top 5 career choices that is reported to have the best prospects for job hunters?
Second, did you know there is a nursing shortage? While other careers are facing layoffs, nursing is considered to be one of the few jobs that will be hiring for at least the next 30 years. While nobody can promise absolute job security in this world, nursing is a career choice that carries a very low probability of its graduates ever facing a poor job market.
UINDY has three ways you can become a nurse.
First, we have a traditional bachelor of science in nursing (BSN) degree. This is a 4 year program. For the first year, students take pre-requisite and general education core courses (required of every student seeking a college degree). For example, our first year students take Anatomy and Physiology, Chemistry, English Composition, Math, Speech, and a variety of other courses to fill their schedules. In their sophomore year, they start their clinical nursing courses, including having experiences with real patients in hospitals. They complete their nursing courses and any other requirements in their Junior and Senior year.
Second, we have an Accelerated Nursing Program. In this program, people who have a bachelor’s degree in a non-nursing field have the opportunity to complete both their Bachelor’s and Masters degrees in nursing in about 3 years. We call this the AMP program for Accelerated Masters Program. During the first year, students take prerequisite science courses and complete three nursing courses. A typical student in the AMP program will take Anatomy, Microbiology, Nutrition, and a second level psychology course the first semester. The second semester the student will take Physiology, Chemistry (if it has not already been taken as part of the first degree), Pharmacology, Nursing Research and any other pre-requisites still needed. In May, the students start their clinical nursing courses, and receive their bachelor’s degree in nursing at the end of the following summer. Then they complete their masters courses in another year. That means in three years—less time than it would take them to get a traditional BSN degree—the AMP students have two degrees!
Third, we offer an Associate Degree in Nursing (this is the Associate of Science in Nursign or ASN). In this program, students attend school for three years to obtain a degree that allows them to take the State Licensure examination. This is a beginning level of registered nurse, and most find that to progress in their careers, they need to complete the bachelors in nursing degree.
Fourth, we offer an RN-to-BSN degree for ASN nurses who wish to complete their BSN degree. The courses in this program are offered mostly in the afternoons and evenings to accommodate working nurses.
We hope that you will contact the school of nursing if you are interested in pursuing one of these avenues into the nursing profession. Nursing is the hardest job you will ever love.
In my next blog, I will talk about our exciting Masters programs in nursing and our Certificate programs.

Occupational Performance Issues and Predictors of Dysfunction in College Instrumentalists - UIndy professors and students publish recent research in Medical Problems of Performing Artists
Music-related injuries among musicians, including younger musicians, have been well documented; however, minimal research has been completed with college-aged instrumentalists. The purpose of this research study was to describe the presence of physical symptoms in college-age musicians and the impact of these symptoms on music-playing and other daily occupations. Data collection was completed
on college instrumental music majors using two survey questionnaires, which documented the presence of physical symptoms in the upper limb and the impact of these symptoms on function. The results indicate that a significant number of students reported pain or discomfort that occurred during music-playing, at rest, and during other daily occupations. Results were consistent with the literature in regards to the prevalence of symptoms in female instrumentalists as compared to males and the occurrence of more symptoms in those individuals playing string instruments and piano as compared to other instrument groups. Also, as self-reported pain increased, a greater level of dysfunction in occupational performance was found. Results also indicated that when participants were already implementing intervention strategies, this was perhaps a predictor of the presence of pain and dysfunction. Health professionals should be encouraged to provide preventive education for student musicians and to use outcome measures, such as the Disabilities of the Hand, Arm, and Shoulder (DASH) outcome measure, to identify the potential for functional impairments.

The China Experience:
An Educational and Clinical Exchange of Eastern and Western Physical Rehabilitation Practices
Authors: Petrosino, C., Shurig, MA., Bryant, S., Flora, V., McGowan, J., Wahl, A.
A delegation of four Doctor of Physical Therapy students and one faculty member from the Krannert School of Physical Therapy (KSPT) at the University of Indianapolis traveled to China in May of 2007. A community-based capstone project was conducted with a mission to observe and document cultural experiences while providing a mutual educational exchange for the KSPT delegation and Chinese students and faculty. Presentations on spinal stabilization given by the delegation provided current evidence-based trends of the Western physical therapy profession. Development of the interactive educational sessions included a thorough literature review of the culture, preparation of culturally sensitive presentations for select audiences, and the collection of data throughout the experience for analysis.
Study Description
A literature search was performed on the history and culture of China prior to the trip. The students focused their research on cultural sensitivity, traditional Chinese medicine practices, and current rehabilitation techniques in China. Funding for the trip was sought through University grants and private fundraising. From the initiation of the project, each group member independently documented their experience during the literature review, collection of funds, development of lectures, travel arrangement planning, experiences in China, and return from the trip. Data collection of observations while in China gave rich descriptions of the experience while reflective field notes gave individual interpretations. From the collected data, all information was transcribed into a Word document for analysis in a computerized qualitative assessment software program (NVivo 7.0). Common themes were developed from the observations and reflective notes of the delegation. A manuscript was produced reflecting the interactions, experiences, and knowledge exchanged between the KSPT delegation and Chinese students and faculty members. Through individual analysis by group members and coding of textual data into convergent and divergent themes, followed by aggregating convergent themes by group consensus, the most salient findings were elucidated.
Discussion & Conclusions
Exchanging knowledge and gaining understanding between Western and Eastern healthcare methods exposed both parties to specific treatment techniques and philosophies of care that will potentially lead to more effective, integrated treatment approaches to physical rehabilitation. As a community-based project for professional program students, the invaluable cultural experience enabled students to glean greater insight of and appreciation for diversity and culture that will influence their personal and professional endeavors. This project can inform future community-based, service learning, and cultural experiences for professional program students and faculty.

Bay Area where he lives with his wife Paula and their yellow Labrador
Retriever, Nava Leah.
A very highly-regarded speaker, Gary is sponsored in part by the
Christopher & Dana Reeve Paralysis Resource Center, which funds his
speaking in rehabilitation settings and to university students of
physical and occupational therapy.
As a corporate trainer on disability and employment Gary makes the
business case for working with employees with disabilities. He creates
a safe and interactive environment to discuss what some find an
uncomfortable topic — and in the process helps bring workplace culture
up to speed on the dramatic emergence of people with disabilities — as
candidates, and an existing employee's capacity to stay on the job or
return more efficiently.
