Graduates of our MS in Marriage and Family Therapy Program leave with a depth of MFT knowledge and skill to competently practice as relational systemic professionals serving diverse communities with cultural attunement, self-reflection, and a commitment to lifelong learning.<br>Students entering our MS in Marriage and Family Therapy Program will be exposed to the major family therapy conceptual and clinical models. Based in the Department of Psychiatry, within the University of Rochester Medical Center, means our students are embedded in a clinical practice site/hospital vs. a college campus type setting.<br>This setting provides the unique opportunity to learn about mental health and families in a collaborative interdisciplinary context. Students complete yearlong clinical training at two practicum sites concurrently in their second year: several Rochester community-based clinical sites complement our onsite NYS Office of Mental Health regulated clinic, Strong Family Therapy Services. <br>Practicum students receive weekly individual and group supervision at each site from AAMFT-approved supervisors or supervisors who are equivalently trained to provide relational systemic supervision.<br>The MS Program in Marriage and Family Therapy is a 60 credit hour curriculum. The Program has accreditation from the Commission on Accreditation for Marriage and Family Therapy Education (COAMFTE), and is also an approved NYS registered Program leading to licensure in Marriage & Family Therapy. The curriculum is designed to train family therapists to work in the changing health and mental health environment.<br>Students must take all the core courses, including a master's project. Successful completion of core didactic coursework is required before they can start with clinical practicum. Students have direct client contact during clinical practicum, which continues until the completion of 500 hours of supervised clinical practice with individuals, couples, and families.
