临床心理学计划遵循Boulder Conference科学家-从业者模型。对临床心理学的科学和实践感兴趣的学生将非常适合我们的课程。该计划的学生必须成为优秀的研究人员和优秀的从业人员。毕业生有资格获得心理学的临床心理学家和健康服务提供者的资格，并且可以在心理健康或医疗中心，大学，私人执业或其他应用场合中任职。我们的社区健康心理学和普通健康心理学计划旨在在四年内完成，临床心理学计划则在五年内完成，其中包括在异地完成的一年的博士前实习。
The Clinical Health Psychology program is an APA-accredited Clinical Psychology program that is housed within the Health Psychology Ph.D. program at UNC Charlotte. Accordingly, graduate students in this program receive training in both foundational clinical psychology skills (e.g., assessment, psychotherapy, research), as well as clinical health psychology-specific skills (e.g., clinical practice and research with people with physical health conditions). Because we are a scientist-practitioner program, it is essential that our students aspire to be excellent researchers as well as excellent practitioners. In addition, we adhere strongly to the Biopsychosocial-Cultural and Social-Ecological models of health: such holistic perspectives provide empirically-ground, innovative ways to understand risk, mental and physical disease/illness, and health promotion. Graduates are eligible for licensure as clinical psychologists and health services providers in psychology, and may assume clinical, research or teaching positions in academic medical centers, universities, community health centers, private practice, or other applied settings.
