Dr Shapiro Interview Summary

Hello, and welcome to our interview with Doctor Shapiro a Psychology professor at Aurora University, majored in psychology in undergrad and has a PhD in counseling. Now in this sit down with Doctor Shapiro we are going to ask some questions from present day that he is willing to share, then moving into his past experiences that got him here today and end it off with some small disunion.

First, we are going to talk about his present state in his psychology career path. Doctor Shapiro shared that his position at Aurora University as an associate professor. Doctor Shapiro’s typical work week, depending on the week and the load, would require him to grade papers, create and grade tests, review lectures before classes and commence said classes and

In Doctor Shapiro undergrad years he started with engineering and even then he still likes math and science but after a couple of years as he put it starts to show that that path was not going to lead to a finished line.

Then the time came for the major switch and to fall back to plan A which worded out better for him then his original path and he later took a GRD test and applied to many graduate schools, got accepted here and there. The school that snagged him was university of Iowa offering money for him to be a research assistant for ACT at a testing company. Later after getting his PhD, Doctor Shapiro he wonders what now. So he got the idea of doing community mental health like a clinic that deal with all kinds of social economics but he has not done a lot of that so he found post doc in clinical at Tinley park hospital at the time but
