The residency has, as its primary mission, to train competent Army clinical psychologists and, as such, there are multiple training activities through out the year.
Residents attend weekly seminars in psychotherapy, psychodiagnostics, and pharmacopsychology.
We have case conferences, journal club, and special presentations by invited speakers. Attendance is encouraged at selected Grand Rounds provided through various graduate medical education programs. There is a one week intensive experience with the residential substance abuse program. A particular strength of the Army Clinical Psychology Residency Program has been our ability to attract psychologists of national stature or who are active on APA committees to present workshops in their area of expertise. Examples include Dr. James Butcher and Dr. Roger Greene on the MMPI-II, Dr. Tony Sciara and Dr. Philip Erdberg on the Rorschach, Dr. Charles Walker in Pediatric Psychology, Dr. Jeff Younggren on ethics, Dr. Jeff Barth in neuropsychology, and Dr Russ Newman on APA Practice Directorate issues.
