Program goals

Goal #1: To prepare clinical psychologists to be able to competently integrate the knowledge, skills, attitudes, and values that serve as the foundation of clinical practice through the provision of a broad-based training experience.

Goal #2: To prepare clinical psychologists for the ethical delivery of evidence-based psychological services in diverse clinical situations through the provision of a wide variety of sequential, organized, and supervised training experiences. The development of competencies in assessment, diagnostic and case conceptualization skills; psychotherapeutic interventions; consultation; research and evaluation, supervision and teaching; and management and administration are critical to the attainment of this goal.
