Child Clinical ResearchChild Clinical Overview | Research | Course Work | Clinical Training | Accreditation | Statistics About Our Students and ApplicantsResearch training is a major thrust of our graduate work. Students are actively engaged in research throughout the program. At the time of admissions, students are paired with a mentor. We encourage you to examine the faculty's interests in planning for this. All first-year students become involved in a research apprenticeship with either a clinical faculty member or a faculty member in another area. Students collaborate with faculty and other students, while developing specializations of their choice. Training opportunities are offered in the context of a junior colleague model, in which students learn to carry out clinical research and practice with increasing degrees of independence and responsibility, preparing them for independent professional careers. By the end of the first year, students are expected to complete a research proposal. In the second year, students do a Master's thesis which usually grows out of their research apprenticeship. In subsequent years, students are involved in their dissertation work as well as independent projects with one or more faculty members. Faculty's interests are described near the end of these materials. The clinical faculty are engaged in many projects of clinical relevance such as ADHD, behavioral/molecular genetics, child psychotherapy and clinical trials, cultural issues in treatment, culture and the functions of music, depression, developmental psychopathology, evidence-based treatments, exposure to violence and trauma, learning disabilities, marital and family distress, neuropsychology, peer and family relationships, poverty, prevention, PTSD, stress and coping. Our faculty are very productive and are quite successful in obtaining research grants. These grants often provide a source of financial support for students as well as a valuable research experience. Our students are also productive. In our 2012 self study, we found 97% of our recent graduates had at least 2 presentations at conferences by the time they went on the job market advanced M = 9.51; 100% of advanced students already have 2 or more presentations, M = 9.9.Similarly 94% of recent graduates had a paper or chapter accepted for published by the time they went on the job market, M=5.74; 100% of advanced students already have 1, M = 5.0. We believe that you will find these numbers are quite high compared to most clinical programs.
