Clinical Psychology

California accepts accredited programs like 51³Ô¹ÏºÚÁÏ's APA accredited program for core educational requirements; but California also requires additional specific coursework or continuing education training prior to licensure. (). Specifically, CA licensure requires 10 hours of training in human sexuality, 7 hours of training in child abuse assessment, 15 hours in spousal/partner abuse, detection and intervention strategies, 10 hours in aging and long-term care, and 1 semester or 1 quarter term course in alcoholism/chemical dependency detection and treatment. Students wishing to become licensed in California are advised to work with the 51³Ô¹ÏºÚÁÏ program to tailor their electives to meet these additional training requirements. While 51³Ô¹ÏºÚÁÏ's clinical psychology program does not require this content per se, there are many electives at 51³Ô¹ÏºÚÁÏ and community training events in Las Vegas that are available for students to assist them in preparing for licensure in California. Some internship programs also offer these CEU courses to help interns prepare for licensure.
