心理学哲学博士-临床科学

通过致力于研究，本科教育和研究生培训，临床科学领域被认为是融合科学与实践的精英课程。我们重视跨领域（例如生物学，行为，社会，情感，认知）和使用创新技术的严格科学方法。通过跨不同人群和服务水平低下的人群进行研究，应用和实施的相互作用，使用科学的信息方法来增强身心健康，福祉和健康的决策。我们计划的任务是推进临床科学。临床科学被定义为一组旨在促进适应性功能，预防，评估，理解和改善人类行为，情感，社会关系，认知或健康以及知识应用的过程和方法。以与科学证据一致的方式。我们计划对“科学”一词的强调强调了其对经验方法的
The Clinical Science area is recognized as an elite program in the integration of science and practice through commitment to research, undergraduate education, and graduate training. We value rigorous scientific methods across multiple domains (e.g., biological, behavior, social, affective, cognitive) and using innovative technologies. We develop and use scientifically informed methods to enhance mental and physical health, well-being, and healthy decisions through the interplay of research, intervention, and implementation across diverse and underserved populations. Our program's mission is to advance clinical science. Clinical science is defined as a set of processes and methods directed at the promotion of adaptive functioning, at the prevention, assessment, understanding, and amelioration of human problems in behavior, affect, social relations, cognition or health, and at the application of knowledge in ways consistent with scientific evidence. Our program's emphasis on the term science underscores its commitment to empirical approaches to evaluating the validity and utility of testable hypotheses and to advancing knowledge by this method. We seek to develop individuals who are committed to being productive leaders in careers in basic, applied, and translational research, and in evidence-based approaches to prevention, practice, dissemination, implementation, and evaluation. Our program is most suited to students who are interested in pursuing science-, research-, academic-, or training-related careers. Students whose primary interest and career goal is solely the direct practice of psychology would likely be more satisfied in a different training program<br><br>The Department of Psychology at Virginia Tech offers a doctoral program leading to the Ph.D. in psychology. Students may concentrate in one of four areas: Biological Psychology, Clinical Science, Developmental Science, and Industrial/Organizational Psychology.<br>Students may earn a Master of Science (M.S.) degree in psychology en route to the Ph.D., but the Department does not offer a terminal M.S. degree in any area. Applications from students with either bachelors or advanced degrees are welcomed.
