Alumni from this program gain strong qualifications to enhance fundamental understanding of developmental psychopathology while creating and assessing scientifically grounded approaches to evaluation, prevention, intervention, and knowledge sharing.
Florida International University's Clinical Science Program in Child and Adolescent Psychology aims to prepare doctoral candidates as clinical investigators, academics, and pioneers who will expand scientific understanding through conceptually sound, methodologically precise, and original research. Our objectives, consistent with both the American Psychological Association and the Academy of Psychological Clinical Science, focus on: 1) progressing research on youth and family mental health, 2) delivering cutting-edge, evidence-based clinical services to young populations and families, and 3) sharing discoveries to enhance psychological wellbeing across these groups.
