Doctor of Psychology (PsyD)

Memorial University of Newfoundland

The goal of the PsyD program is to train students to become professional clinical psychologists and as such, the program emphasizes acquisition of research knowledge and skills in the solution of applied problems. The curriculum focuses on development of seven competencies: relationships, assessment and diagnosis, intervention, research, consultation, supervision, and ethics and standards. A particular emphasis is placed on issues related to rural practice and multidisciplinary teamwork. In addition to a program of required coursework, successful completion of the PsyD program will also involve fulfilment of the requisite supervised practical experiences, passing a comprehensive examination, producing an independent research thesis, and completing an approved clinical internship.
