UVic’s clinical psychology doctoral program

The best brains in the profession are looking after ours: over the past decade, graduates of UVic’s clinical psychology doctoral program have scored the highest average marks of all graduates taking the standard examination required for registration as a psychologist in North America. Between 1997 and 2006, 27 UVic graduates have taken the Examination for Professional Practice in Psychology (EPPP). Data from the Association of State and Provincial Psychology Boards—reporting on all EPPP writers over the past decade who graduated from 163 different North American universities—indicate UVic grads have consistently come out on top. “I attribute this amazing accomplishment to the exceptional students we attract to our program,” says Dr. Marion Ehrenberg, associate professor and UVic’s director of clinical training, “and to the comprehensive training we provide.”
