What will I learn?

Originating in 1963, our Canadian Psychological Association (CPA)-accredited Clinical Psychology Ph.D. Training Program was developed to educate scientist-practitioners in the fashion recommended by the Boulder Model. From the start, we aspired to the highest levels of skill development in both research and clinical practice so that our graduates would achieve leadership roles in academic and applied psychology settings. Over the last three decades, about one-third of our graduates have consistently taken academic appointments and continue in a major role as researchers and scholars, while many of the remaining two-thirds going into clinical practice have assumed important positions as chief psychologists, leaders of large consultation practices, directors of internship training programs, officers of professional societies, and the like. Our Clinical Psychology program offers fully integrated training in research and clinical practice, preparing students for a wide variety of professional roles that include clinical research, psychological assessment and psychotherapy, teaching, clinical supervision, and program evaluation.
