The Clinical Psychology Program offers a five-year Health Psychology Concentration, allowing students to focus on health psychology through elective courses, field experiences, and research. This concentration follows the Council of Clinical Health Psychology Training Programs’ major area of study designation. Students do not receive a separate degree or designation in health psychology; those who complete the concentration earn a degree in Clinical Psychology, which is reflected on their transcripts and diplomas. Students can apply for the Health Psychology Concentration during their first year in the Clinical Psychology Program, but acceptance into the program does not guarantee admission into the concentration.
Health Psychology Concentration Requirements:
- Three health psychology courses which typically include:
- Integrated Healthcare
- Human Sexuality
- Clinical Neuroanatomy
- Two, year-long practica at health psychology-based sites
- Approved Dissertation on health psychology topic
- Completion of Internship
