This residency has already passed.
Walden University’s Professional Conferences are for advanced PhD students. Instead of fulfilling Milestone 4 at a Walden residency, students may choose to attend a Professional Conference (offered in conjunction with Walden faculty) at any time after completing the Milestone 2 (second) residency.
The School of Psychology is pleased to announce NASP Professional Conference. The purpose of this Professional Conference to provide students with the experience of attending a conference and to offer an opportunity to hear current research and trends in Psychology. Additionally, hours of attendance at these conferences can be used toward completion of AYR hours. Students must check with their state licensing board to ensure the board will accept the hours toward sate requirements. Although the professional conference can count towards AYR hours it will not replace any required residencies.
Residency Requirements
Participation in this Professional Conference will meet the academic residency requirement for Milestone 4 and is available to students who have completed Milestones 1 & 2 (second residency).
To meet the Walden University academic residency requirements, you must register directly with the NASP annual convention and you must also register for the Walden residency.
The format of the residency will be different from a typical residency. At this residency, each student will be required to attend various conference presentations and events. And, while there will be specific required events for all Walden students, there will be a great deal of freedom for students to select presentations and events that meet their research and career goals. Psychology faculty will be attending to facilitate the convention experience for students.
