The 5-7 year doctoral program in Clinical Psychology is an APA-Accredited program based on a clinical science model. The clinical area would like to issue a statement regarding our commitment to embrace human diversity and inclusion. Diversity refers to differences in race, ethnicity, socioeconomic status, geographic region, religious beliefs, gender identities, sexual orientations, age, and heritage. We view diversity as fundamental to the human experience and strive toward active, intentional, and on-going engagement with diversity via the curriculum, clinical training and practice, and research. We strive to create a diverse and inclusive student body and faculty that empowers traditionally disenfranchised groups. We are actively working to increase our awareness and action plans regarding these issues within the program. Along these lines, students and faculty should be aware that engagement in activities to enhance diversity and inclusion of traditionally disenfranchised groups within the program is welcomed and appreciated. Further, we will consider all feedback among the department and will act intentionally relative to these comments. We believe that on-going, thoughtful and critical engagement with diversity issues is necessary to improve the program.<br>Our first training objective is to produce clinical scientists with foundational knowledge of the science of psychology and the practice of psychology. This objective is met in our program primarily through a curriculum of required courses, a number of which are taught by faculty in the nonclinical areas. We consider clinical students' exposure to our first-rate Neuroscience, Cognitive Psychology, Developmental Psychology and Social Psychology faculty to be a strength of our program. This emphasis on the relevance of clinical psychology to the broader field is further underscored by the high degree of cross-area collaboration among our faculty. In addition to research collaboration by faculty from different areas of the department, the department also encourages collaboration in teaching. To facilitate this, the department has decided to regularly offer cross-area graduate seminars in which three faculty from different areas within the department offer a course on a topic with cross-cutting themes. Thus, the integration of clinical psychology in the broad discipline of psychology is modeled for our students by the faculty in the domains of teaching and research.
