OU Residency in Clinical Psychology

The Clinical Psychology Residency at the University of Oklahoma Health Campus (OUHC) is a full-time, year-long program accredited by the American Psychological Association. 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. The program offers advanced training in clinical psychology across several emphasis training areas, all located on the University of Oklahoma Health Campus. Currently, we have four clinical psychology resident positions distributed across the following three emphasis areas:

  • Pediatric Psychology at Oklahoma Children's OU Health
  • Clinical Child at the Child Study Center
  • Lifespan Psycho-Oncology at Oklahoma Children's OU Health and OU Health Stephenson Cancer Center.

All residents are required to participate in clinical, didactic, and scholarly activities throughout the training year. Each resident completes a minimum of 1000 clinical hours, at least half of which is in direct, face-to-face service delivery. Residents also receive a minimum of 100 hours of individual supervision. The remainder of the residents’ hours may be devoted to professional development, scholarly project(s), didactic attendance, and other non-clinical activity within each emphasis area.

Applications must be submitted through the APPIC Psychology Postdoctoral Application Centralized Application System (APPA-CAS). The deadline for applications is December 4th, 2026. If you are interested in applying, please reference the "Application" page on this website for additional instructions.  The Residency start date is August 1st.
