From PhD to Practice: Research, Resilience, and Real-World Impact

In this Faculty Take Five episode, Associate Dean Amy Sickel talks with Dr. Rhonda Bohs, adjunct faculty at Walden University, about what it really takes to earn and apply a PhD in psychology. Dr. Bohs traces her early passion for the field, the unexpected demands of graduate school, and how those experiences shaped her commitment to mentoring students. Drawing on a 30-year career in behavioral health spanning community-based research, grant writing, and consulting, she shows how doctoral skills extend well beyond academia.
