Video: Celebrating four decades of preparing new generations of clinical psychologists

Over the past 40 years, San Diego State University and UC San Diego’s Joint Doctoral Program in Clinical Psychology has fostered the next leaders in the field.

The collaboration between SDSU’s Psychology Department and UC San Diego School of Medicine’s Department of Psychiatry provides specialized training in behavioral medicine, neuropsychology and experimental psychopathology. Throughout the program, students’ learning extends beyond the classroom curricula as they conduct research, participate in hands-on clinical training, and connect with mentors at SDSU, UC San Diego and partner institutions. 

With in-depth knowledge of the field and skills as clinicians, graduates enter the workforce prepared to tackle the most pressing psychological issues in diverse communities.
