Clinical Psychology Pediatric Psychology - Case Western Reserve University

Clinical Psychology Pediatric Psychology from Case Western Reserve University is a Campus Bachelor Clinical Psychology degree that prepares you for a Psychology career. Under the new direction H. Gerry Taylor and Norah Feeny, the pediatric psychology training program will be taking applications for the 2008 academic year. Students in this program will be trained to conduct descriptive, outcome evaluation, and applied research with a wide range of pediatric populations as well as to conduct and evaluate cutting edge clinical interventions. The program is designed to equip graduates with the skills necessary to become leaders in the field of pediatric psychology: to work with physicians and members of other professions in collaborative research and to make original research and clinical contributions to the field of pediatric psychology. Students in pediatric psychology must meet the general requirements of the graduate program. Beyond the general requirements, our program includes a range of opportunities including: * Specialized courses in pediatric psychology and related elective and enrichment courses in the Department of Pediatrics . * Training in the skills necessary to conduct pediatric psychology research including research grant and program evaluation proposals, presentations of papers to scientific meetings, and publishable manuscripts. * Opportunity to receive mentorship from psychologists and pediatricians who are engaged in research and clinical care in pediatric settings and participate in interdisciplinary research and clinical care teams. Our program also recognizes and supports the value of clinical training, especially as it enhances understanding of pediatric populations and practical obstacles involved in implementing applied research, as well as collaboration with other professional disciplines, especially pediatricians. Expectations for clinical training are comparable to the students in the general clinical program. However, students in pediatric psychology will gain the opportunity to obtain practicum experiences in pediatric settings and to select pediatric populations of primary interest for gaining direct clinical and research skills. Our students are expected to be on campus during summers to concentrate on their research and to attend relevant seminars. View more details on Case Western Reserve University .
