I fully support the Board's recognition of the Psychological Clinical Science Accreditation System (PCSAS) as an acceptable accrediting body. As a student in the University of Virginia's PCSAS-accredited PhD program in clinical psychology, I have received training both as a healthcare provider and as a research scientist. I have completed supervised clinical practica in our program's Mary D. Ainsworth Psychological Clinic, the University of Virginia Student Disability Access Center, and the University of Virginia Hospital Family Stress Clinic. As I look ahead to clinical internship, I believe that I will be well qualified for licensure and professional practice as a clinical psychologist. The integration of science and practice that is the core of PCSAS training is a key part of what drew me to enroll in the program at UVA. I am excited that the Board recognizes the value of PCSAS training for reducing the burden of mental illness in Virginia.
