Graduate Program Description
Ph.D. in Clinical Psychology
This program of study is the largest doctoral program in the Faculty of Graduate and Postdoctoral Studies at the University of Ottawa. The University of Ottawa was one of the first Canadian universities to establish training in clinical psychology, having begun in 1941. The doctoral program in clinical psychology at the University of Ottawa is the only bilingual program accredited by the Canadian Psychological Association (Accreditation Office, Canadian Psychological Association, 141 Laurier Avenue West, Suite 702, Ottawa, ON K1P 5J3, accreditationoffice@cpa.ca, 613-237-2144 x 328 or 1-888-472-0657 x 328). The next site visit is due in 2012-13. Training is offered in a scientist-practitioner model of psychological service, with a special emphasis on evidence-based interventions. An integral part of the clinical program is the Centre for Psychological Service and Research, whose mission is to deliver psychological services to the general population of the region, to provide training to doctoral students in clinical psychology, and to facilitate research.
