Ph.D. in Clinical Medical Psychology -- Mercer University School of Medicine

Curriculum001_phdcurriculum.jpg

The Clinical Medical Psychology Ph.D. Program trains students to apply clinical and research skills in an integrative, biopsychosocial approach to healthcare. The program follows guidelines and principles set forth by the American Psychological Association (APA) Committee on Accreditation and emphasizes scientist-practitioner training. Coursework in clinical psychology is augmented by a focus on medical aspects of healthcare and training in concert with physicians and other healthcare professionals throughout the School of Medicine.

Successful completion of the Mercer University Ph.D. program in Clinical Medical Psychology involves 92 credit hours consisting of four years of full-time coursework, a doctoral dissertation, and a one-year full-time internship. Beyond required courses, students may select coursework in one of three areas of concentration: adult health psychology, neuropsychology/geropsychology, or pediatric psychology. To practice independently as a psychologist, graduates must complete state requirements that typically include (but are not limited to) one additional year of supervised postdoctoral training and a passing score on the national Examination for Professional Practice in Psychology.
