Residency in Clinical Psychology

The Clinical Psychology Residency is accredited by the American Psychological Association. It has several emphasis areas in child and health clinical psychology located at the University of Oklahoma Health Sciences Center. This year there will be 4 positions across 3 different emphasis areas. The Child emphasis areas include Pediatric Psychology (2 positions) located at Oklahoma Children's Hospital; Clinical Child (1 position), located at the Child Study Center; and a Psych-Oncology (1 position) emphasis area which includes adult and pediatric clinical training experiences at Oklahoma Children's Hospital and Stephenson's Cancer Center. 

The aim of the Clinical Psychology Residency program is to provide the Residents with advanced skills and competencies necessary to function independently as licensed health service psychologists. In addition, the program feels it necessary to focus on belonging and inclusion within clinical, research, didactic, and supervisory experiences within the residency, to ensure a greater appreciation and understanding of patients with cultural differences then that of the provider.
