In support of PCSAS accreditation for VA licensure
 

As a clinical psychologist and chaired professor in the UVA Dept. of Psychology, I wanted to convey my strong support for allowing PCSAS accreditation of a program to 'count' in assessing applicant licensure requirements.  

 

PCSAS accreditation is quite stringent and having more than one reputable source for accreditation as an option both strengthens the field and eliminates problems when a single entity has a monopoly on accreditation.
