The Clinical Studies Program at the University of Hawaii is a clinical science program whose mission is to train culturally competent clinical scientists who function at the highest standards of clinical practice across all aspects of health service psychology in public service institutions, such as hospitals, mental health centers and organizations, colleges, and universities. Three tenets guide the doctoral training in clinical psychology at the University of Hawai'i at Mnoa: (1) Clinical practice should be based on the knowledge derived from basic areas of psychological inquiry (e.g., social psychology, cognitive psychology, developmental psychology, psychobiology, and learning), (2) Practice, research, and training in clinical psychology should be sensitive to individual differences, and (3) Principles of accountability and scholarship should be reflected in clinical practice. Clinical practice should be empirically based and clinicians should engage in ongoing assessment of clients throughout treatment.
