To us, the scientist-practitioner is not a dual entity consisting of separate research and clinical repertoires. Rather, they are a professional psychologist who uses knowledge of research to guide practice and who is fully capable of conducting research in the context of practice (or independent of practice). The UWM Clinical Psychology program approaches research and practice from a theoretically diverse, biopsychosocial perspective. The most common theoretical perspective is cognitive-behavioral\/behavior analytic. In addition to being accredited by the American Psychological Association, the UWM Clinical Psychology Program is a member of the Academy of Psychological Clinical Science, which is a coalition of doctoral training programs that share a common goal of producing and applying scientific knowledge to the assessment, understanding, and amelioration of human problems. Membership in the Academy is granted only after a thorough peer review process. Students conduct research under a mentorship model.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-course-of-study\">Course of Study<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><em>This document provides a summary of the requirements for the Ph.D. program in Clinical Psychology.

Students will learn the foundations of research methodology, assessment, and psychopathology. Through the design of the first-year experience, students will learn to integrate the three. Likewise, the completion of Year 1 will have prepared students adequately for completing their thesis, and will provide foundational training for conducting other research throughout their career at UWM.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"uwm-l-row\">\n<div class=\"uwm-l-col\">\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-fall-semester-12-credits\">Fall Semester (12 credits)\u00a0<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list uwm-c-list--cleanlist\">\n<li>###\u2014Statistics: Ed Psych 724 or PH 702 (or Psy 510)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>831\u2014Assessment I (3 credits)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>912\u2014Developmental Psychopathology (3 credits) \u00a0<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>802\u2014First Year Clinical Psychology Practicum (3 credits) <em>Structured and unstructured interview practice and introduction to test administration.<\/em><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"uwm-l-col\">\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-spring-semester-12-13-credits\">Spring Semester (12-13 credits)<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list uwm-c-list--cleanlist\">\n<li>###\u2014consider 2<sup>nd<\/sup> statistics course (or Psy 610 if\u00a0 3 course seq.)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>710 \u2013 Survey of Clinical Research Methods (3 credits)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>802 \u2013 First Year Clinical Psychology Practicum (3 credits) <em>Interview practice, practice test administration, report writing<\/em><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>790 \u2013 Master\u2019s Research Additional course (if desired)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Vertical Team<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-year-1-practical-training\">Year 1 Practical Training<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Students learn basic interviewing and test administration skills in the first-year practicum.

Students will be expected to get more in-depth training related to their chosen scientifically validated treatment, either through community placement or by seeing clients in the Psychology Clinic.
