What are the credentials/professional preparation of a clinical psychologist?
After four years of college, a clinical psychologist receives at least another four years of graduate school training for the Ph.D. degree plus at least one year of supervised internship training in a hospital or other health care setting. Most states, including Virginia, require still another year of postgraduate residency training. This training is followed by extensive national and state examinations and licensure. In addition, our staff members participate in continuing education programs to keep abreast of the latest developments in diagnosis and treatment.
