More About the Program
Clinical Psychology in Glendale
Learning how to integrate psychology services into primary care settings is just one skill you will develop as a student in the Clinical Psychology Program. You will gain experience in a variety of services areas and develop the knowledge, skills, and attitudes to achieve competency in relationship and professional assessment, intervention, research and evaluation, consultation and education, management and supervision, ethics, and diversity.
Graduates of the Clinical Psychology Program will be able to practice in hospital, primary care, outpatient or inpatient, public or private, and forensic settings, serving populations of all ages: children, adolescents, adults, and elderly persons.
The curriculum incorporates didactic courses, practical experiences, internship, and a practitioner-scholar project. The doctor of psychology degree (Psy.D.) is awarded after four or five years of study and completion of all requirements.

For those of you who enjoy online social networking, you know that Facebook is actually quite cool. Where else can you blend your personal, professional, and even political lives together and then share with your coworker, your neighbor, your best friend, and your boyfriend from the sixth grade? Definitely cool.
One thing I have been impressed with since I started working at Midwestern University is the patient-centered focus that all of the programs have espoused. In particular, I want to talk about the Midwestern Clinical Psychology program. Part of the College of Health Sciences, Clinical Psychology is one of the newer programs to the University, having graduated its first class only this past summer.
