Choose one job/employment opportunity as the focus of your discussion. Include the following in your assignment: 1.    Explain the health psychology job/employment opportunity. 2.    What type of degree or education is required for someone to hold such a job/position? Is higher education, licensure or certification required (i.e., bachelor’s, master’s, doctoral degree)? Why or why not? 3.    What are the responsibilities of the job/position? Are there minimum requirements? If work experience is required, is there an alternative or work around (i.e., supervised work hours, internship, volunteering)? 4.    Describe how the biopsychosocial model aligns with this job/position. What components of the model might be involved? 5.    Investigate local employment possibilities in your area. What is the earning potential (salary) for this job/position? Is this a job/position you might consider in the future? Why or why not? 6.    Reflect on what you learned in your employment research. What did you find interesting? Was anything surprising to you? 7.    What direction or trends were you able to identify as a result of your research? Use two to three current scholarly resources to support your discussion (one of which may be the textbook).   While APA style is not required for the body of this assignment, solid academic writing is expected, and documentation of sources should be presented using APA formatting guidelines, which can be found in the APA Style Guide, located in the Student Success Center   This week’s readings https://www.psychologyschoolguide.net/psychology-careers/health-psychologist/ https://doi-org.lopes.idm.oclc.org/10.1080/17437199.2019.1707107   https://www.apa.org/action/science/health/education-training   https://www.learnpsychology.org/health-psychology/   https://lopes.idm.oclc.org/login?url=https://search.ebscohost.com/login.aspx?direct=true&db=a9h&AN=124332956&site=ehost-live&scope=site&custid=s8333196&groupid=main&profile=ehost
