Psychology Practicum Action Plan

SMART Goals & Professional Development Plan

Describe the future career that you hope to secure (be as specific as possible in describing your ideal position and employment
setting).
My future career is a position working with trauma patients. With trauma, individuals struggle emotionally, physically, or
psychologically. My studies for this form of counseling are Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy and Dialectial-Behavioral Therapy in
which can be conducted in independent or group setting. I am interested in working with hospice, veterans, or a state agency for
children.
In the left column, outline three to five (or more) short-term SMART goals that will assist you in achieving your long-term career
goal. Remember that SMART goals are Specific, Measureable, Attainable, Realistic, and Timely. (This could include goals focused
on learning more about your career of interest, researching graduate programs or the job market, gaining experiences that will assist
you in securing a particular career or gaining acceptance into a graduate program). These goals should be attainable within the next
two semesters. In the right column, describe various professional development activities that could be completed to achieve that goal.
Be sure that there is alignment between the specific goal and the prospective activities. Refer to the course syllabus, which outlines
different categories of activities.
