The UIC Department of Psychology offers an APA-accredited doctoral training program in clinical psychology. The mission of the division of clinical psychology is to educate innovative research-oriented scholars. Following the Boulder Model/scientist-practitioner approach to training, we emphasize the integration of research and clinical work to produce leading researchers who will advance theory, research, and application in the areas of assessment, treatment, and the prevention of psychopathology. Within this context, practicum training provides experiences that enable students to learn evidenced based assessment and treatment approaches, as well as strategies for the prevention of behavioral problems and the promotion of health. Our educational philosophy emphasizes a scientific and socially responsible approach to clinical psychology, including a sensitivity to ethical issues as well as gender, ethnic, and cultural diversity. Whereas we offer intensive and rich clinical training experiences to our doctoral students, we do not aim to train students for careers in private practice or full-time service delivery. Consistent with this philosophy, our program is also a member of the Academy of Psychological Clinical Science.
