O’Brien, Ph.D., professor and interim director of clinical training in the Psy.D. program, said, “This success is based on the work of many faculty and the strong support from the administration over the years. We celebrate the fact that the ratings are based on objective data, particularly in relation to our students pass rates on the national licensing exam for psychologists.”
The Psy.D. program at Marywood trains students to provide state-of-the-art, ethical, humane and culturally sensitive clinical services to diverse populations. Students are taught to be research-informed practitioners, with general skills, who pursue development in specific areas through electives, practicum sites, internships and post-doctoral training.
