The UCSF Clinical Psychology Training Program (CPTP) offers a two-year fellowship comprised of a one-year general clinical psychology internship (APA-accredited) and a one-year postdoctoral clinical and clinical research fellowship, based on the scientist-practitioner model. Graduates are expected to pursue careers emphasizing research and training in academic/research settings, including those affiliated with health and mental health service systems.

The program is designed to train clinical psychologists who:

• Are committed to an academic and/or research career
• Have a strong record of both clinical and research experience
• Are research-oriented and want to work sensitively and competently with underserved and vulnerable populations, including minorities, low-income individuals, persons with chronic mental illness, victims of violence, children, the elderly, and primary care medical patients
   

In addition to training in health service delivery in a wide variety of clinical settings, the program provides specialized research training in:

• ADHD/disruptive behavior disorders
• Autism spectrum disorders
• Eating disorders
• Early childhood trauma
• Juvenile justice and behavioral health
• Neuropsychology
