Clinical Training

Program of Excellence

The clinical training program has recently received recognition by NIMH as a Program of Excellence in scientifically validated treatments for mood disorders. The focus of this research education training grant is to develop a curriculum for training in measurement and assessment, intervention, and evaluation for cognitive therapy, behavioral activation, and family-focused therapy as treatments for mood disorders. The faculty members that are affiliated with this program are Mark Whisman (PI), David Miklowitz, Sona Dimidjian, Emily Richardson, and Charles Judd.

Commitment to Diversity

The Clinical Program is committed to fostering diversity in the graduate student body. As part of the University of Colorado's vision and commitment to building a community of students, faculty, and staff in which diversity is a fundamental value, we welcome applicants from all walks of life. The Psychology Department has a strong history of awareness of gender and minority issues and greatly values different perspectives and research in these issues. In addition, training in multicultural perspectives is required as part of the Clinical Program curriculum.

Diversity Funding. Application fee waivers are offered to McNair Scholars and Project 1000 applicants. Supplemental fellowship funding is available through our NIMH research education training grant for diversity students who are accepted into the program.
