As a faculty member of the Clinical Science training program of the Department of Psychology at Virginia Tech and as a practicing Virginia-licensed clinical psychologist, I am in full support of this guidance document to recognize PCSAS as an accrediting body acceptable to the Virginia Board of Psychology. I applaud the Board's acknowledgement of the added value of PCSAS for reducing the burden of mental illness in the Commonwealth of Virginia through the recruitment/retainment, education/training, research, and practice of PCSAS faculty, students, and graduates.
