Clinical Psychology The Clinical Psychology training program, ranked a Top 10 program by U.S. News and World Report, strongly emphasizes a scientific approach to the understanding of psychological disorders, the influence of psychological factors on human relationships and health. The program—continuously and fully approved by the American Psychological Association since 1948—also is a charter member of the Academy for Psychological Clinical Science. Research Training: The program is designed for students who primarily are interested in helping to advance scientific understanding of clinical phenomena and in acquiring the research skills necessary to do so. Faculty members and students have active research collaborations with colleagues from many departments in the College of Medicine including otolaryngology, psychiatry, pediatrics, obstetrics and gynecology, internal medicine, nephrology, neurology, free radical biology, urology, as well as from the Holden Comprehensive Cancer Center and several departments in the College of Public Health and the Veterans' Affairs Medical Center. Clinical Training: Recognizing that first-hand clinical experience and clinical competence are important for clinical research, the program closely integrates practicum experience in the Carl E. Seashore Psychology Clinic with course work and supervised research experience. Advanced students have opportunities to gain additional clinical experience through placement in a variety of facilities in the area. Students who wish to have the designation "clinical psychology" on their official doctoral degree transcript must satisfactorily complete a 1-year internship at an approved site. The internship comes after completion of all course work and most, if not all, of the dissertation project.
