Instructions for applicants to the Clinical Psychology PhD Program:

Curriculum Vitae (CV). Applicants should submit a CV summarizing information from the categories listed below. Please note that applicants can select to include only those categories for which they have relevant information or experience to share.

Consistent with the Department of Psychology and Neuroscience鈥檚 position on justice, equity, diversity and inclusion (JEDI; see 鈥湵�鱼tv our Department鈥� /faculty/science/psychology_neuroscience.html), the clinical program endeavors to take a holistic approach to our evaluation of applicants by increasing the number of factors considered in our evaluation of prospective students. In keeping with this holistic approach, there is no set weighting of the different factors/categories. We recognize that some experiences might overlap within the listed categories. For example, you may have taken a leadership role for a research project while gaining experience in a laboratory, or a volunteer experience might be considered both community service and clinical experience. It is up to the applicant how they wish to convey their achievements and experiences, though we recommend a very brief description of roles and responsibilities. Further details can be provided in the applicant鈥檚 statement of research and career interests, as relevant.

a.     Educational background

b.     Awards and distinctions

c.     Academic publications, presentations (e.g., conferences), and other forms of research dissemination (e.g., media)

d.     Research experience (paid and volunteer)

e.     Leadership experience

f.      Community service

g.     Clinical experience
