I support this petition 100%. I chose to complete the Radford University Clinical Psychology Masters Program (alum 2013) because it looked to be a comprehensive well-rounded program. I can honestly say that I learned an incredible amount during my time in the program and I was shocked to discover that I was unable to sit for the licensure exam due to the fact that it was a "Clinical" program. I desperately wanted to work in the field of Psychology and was unsure of what to do as I knew getting a job with a masters and no licensure was not the best option. I ended up pursuing the PsyD in Counseling Psychology at Radford and getting in was in part due to the quality education I received in the Masters and my ability to demonstrate a wide range of knowlege in the counseling field.  Had I been unable to get into this program I fear that I would have been unable to obtain a job, in the field, that allowed me to achieve my highest potential and do the work that I have always wanted to do (be a counselor or therapist). If my education prepared me to be a PsyD student (and have a praciticum in my first semester doing traditional therapy with actual clients) I do not see how it would not prepare someone for licensure. I remember the worries about where I would go next, how I would obtain a job, and what choices I had in pursuing my dream career, and any step we can take to eliminate those feelings for the next student I support fully.
