P Is for Psychologist: Stimulating Interest in Psych Careers

Abstract

In this invited editorial I acknowledge the need for greater efforts to translate both the identity and purpose of psychologists. I present a two-pronged approach involving building equitable representations of psychologists and opting into the usage of inclusive curricula. The former can begin with updates to career profiles and commercially available media for younger students while the latter helps to sustain the diverse legacy for the field. The aim of this invited editorial is to call us to broaden the opportunities for the next generation to understand what is meant by P is for psychologist.
