Clinical Training

Providing GSPP students the opportunity to apply their skills in the community and receive supervision is the cornerstone of our programs. Following the practitioner-scholar training model allows students the freedom and flexibility to experience different populations, different psychological interventions, and exposes students to local practitioners for supervision. All GSPP students are required to participate in field placements with various local mental health agencies, schools, practitioners, hospitals, correctional facilities, and other venues. These experiences are invaluable to the training of competent and informed psychologists at the doctoral and masters level.
