In addition to core course requirements, each student is required to spend 15 hours per week for four academic semesters at a practicum site. The second year, each student is affiliated with a training site serving predominantly low socioeconomic status minority populations. In their third year, students may affiliate with a more specialized site of their choice. Examples of specialized training sites include those focusing on neuropsychological assessment, pain disorders, marital and family therapy, and outpatient mental health.
Many students do an optional third practicum during their fourth year.
