Clinical Psychology Training Programs
Overview
Welcome to the UCLA Psychology Training Programs! We are a large program located in Los Angeles with major training sites at the Department of Psychiatry and Biobehavioral Sciences of the David Geffen School Medicine, the Jane and Terry Semel Institute for Neuroscience & Human Behavior and the Stewart and Lynda Resnick Neuropsychiatric Hospital. Our psychiatric hospital and the UCLA Health System as a whole are both widely respected for clinical and research excellence, have been consistently ranked “Best in the West” and in the top ten nation-wide by U.S. News and World Report and was judged to have demonstrated “exemplary performance” by the Joint Commission on the Accreditation of Healthcare Organizations (JCAHO) when they awarded us their highest accolade, Accreditation with Commendation. We offer multiple opportunities for training in clinical psychology from pre-internship through advanced postdoctoral levels. Our practicum program, internship, and postdoctoral fellowships for clinical psychology and neuropsychology are internationally renowned and among the largest in the world. They are characterized by a wide variety of clinical activities, supervision by a multidisciplinary faculty who frequently are nationally known in their specialty, and a wide array of seminars, case conferences and other educational experiences. We value and celebrate diversity in the training we offer, the patients we treat, and the trainees that we recruit. Los Angeles, UCLA, and our training programs are large and diverse settings where the weather is almost always perfect. We hope that this website will help you to get a sense of what we have to offer.
