“We are just one of two clinical psychology doctoral programs in Hawaii that are designed to produce practitioners,” says Sean Scanlan, dean of HSPP and a psychologist specializing in children and adolescent behavior. “Our graduate programs are critically important in their role of developing psychologists who can address the mental health needs of the state and the greater Pacific Rim,” he says.

The Doctor of Psychology in Clinical Psychology, accredited by the Commission on Accreditation of the American Psychological Association (APA*), is designed to be completed in as little as five years. For the first four years, students complete coursework, practicum experiences and supervised, clinical trainings. The fifth and final year comprises a full-time internship.

Many faculty members are not only published in peer-review journals, but also regularly present their research at conferences. Some faculty members also practice part-time, and many are active in the community.
