The Clinical Training Program is designed to expose students to a variety of empirically-supported approaches to assessment, intervention and research. Training in clinical skills begins in the first year, when students participate in clinical practica designed to begin development of basic listening, communication, assessment and conceptualization skills, It continues during the second year when students receive supervised clinical experience in the Psychological Clinic.

All students are mentored by a specific faculty member, work directly in faculty research labs and can be involved in collaborative research projects with faculty and area agencies (e.g., hospitals, schools). Clinical students are expected to become active in research as soon as they enroll in the graduate program. Initial research activities involve collaboration with faculty on their ongoing research programs.
