Clinical Psychology Home
The mission of the Clinical Training Program in the Department of Psychology at USD is to prepare Clinical Psychologists who will work effectively as scientist-practitioners within the culturally diverse world.
Consistent with our scientist-practitioner training model, the program has three primary goals:
- To prepare clinical psychologists who are skilled in the interface of theory, science, and practice.
- To prepare clinical psychologists who have the appropriate theoretical background, skills, and experience to function as a professional in a research, clinical and academic capacity.
- To prepare socially responsible clinical psychologists who demonstrate respect for individual and cultural differences in their contributions to the science and practice of psychology.
