该临床计划支持临床科学家模型和科学家从业者模型的融合，整合了所有研究，教学和应用技能，以培训博士生。我们将研究和应用技能视为交织在一起，而不是视为两套离散的技能。因此，我们的毕业生为在学术或研究领域追求强大的临床科学家职业生涯，以及在医疗或其他培训机构或在服务提供机构中担任行政职务的强大的科学家执业者奠定了基础。 。该计划旨在在五年内完成，最后一年是临床实习。前两年是相对密集的课程，在此期间，学生完成研究方法论，心理学探究的科学领域的基础课程，以及心理病理学，评估和社会心理干预的核心临床课程。
The Clinical Psychology program espouses a blend of the clinical-scientist model and the scientist-practitioner model, integrating the full range of research, teaching, and applied skills in training doctoral students. We view research and applied skills as interwoven rather than as two discrete sets of skills. As a result, our graduates acquire the foundation for pursuing a strong clinical scientist career in an academic or research setting, as well as a robust scientist-practitioner career in a medical or other training institution or serving in an administrative role in a service delivery agency.<br><br>The program is designed for completion in five years, the last year of which is the clinical internship. The first two years are relatively course intensive, during which students complete basic courses in research methodology, scientific domains of psychological inquiry, and core clinical courses in psychopathology, assessment, and psychosocial interventions.<br><br>Students become involved in faculty-led research teams during their first year, affording them the opportunity to collaborate with team members in developing research questions, designing empirical studies, collecting and analyzing data, writing manuscripts, and presenting scientific papers at national and regional conferences. By the end of their first year, students propose their master's thesis research to be completed during their second year. The Clinical program emphasizes student involvement in collaborative research beyond their thesis research, providing a broad foundation in research methodology prior to formulating their dissertation research during their third year. We expect our students to have several scholarly publications and presentations at scientific meetings prior to applying for the pre-doctoral internship.
