A PsyD in Clinical Psychology is a professional doctoral degree focused on the practice of psychology. Unlike a PhD, which emphasizes research, the PsyD program prioritizes clinical training and practical skills. Students learn to assess and treat mental health disorders, often through hands-on experience in various settings, such as hospitals and clinics. Graduates of a PsyD program are prepared to work as licensed clinical psychologists. They can provide therapy, conduct psychological assessments, and engage in community mental health initiatives. This degree typically requires coursework, supervised clinical practice, and the completion of a dissertation or research project.
