The program follows the scientist-practitioner model, placing strong emphasis on research training and experience through course work, research projects and a dissertation. Research experience is balanced with professional clinical training, including clinical skills courses taught by licensed clinical psychologists.
The theoretical orientation of the clinical psychology program falls within the biopsychosocial perspective. Faculty interests span of a number of domains, including:
The clinical program provides generalist clinical training, preparing students to obtain core knowledge in assessment and intervention for individuals across the lifespan. The generalist training will equip students for practice in rural and urban settings, thereby increasing clinical opportunities after graduation.
The clinical psychology program at UNB is a CPA-accredited program. Additionally, the program is designed to provide students with academic and professional training necessary to meet the requirements for licensing with the College of Psychologists of New Brunswick.
