Residency Tracks

Residents select one of the three basic training emphases of the program:Child and Adolescent Psychology, Health Psychology, or Neuropsychology. Across tracks, there is a common focus on the roles and functions of clinical psychologists in a general medical setting and a common emphasis on a broad understanding of the life adaptation of children and adults. Each track provides both didactic training and clinical experience aimed at developing professional competence and achieving the goals of training described earlier. This area of emphasis training model dovetails with our training philosophy which highlights both breadth and depth of knowledge.

Cross-track experiences are encouraged and are often incorporated into required training. For example, neuropsychology track residents may work with a pediatric neuropsychologist in the child and adolescent service. Health track residents frequently choose electives in the neuropsychology service. In addition, all supervisors are available to each resident for consultation.
