Clinical Psychology Doctoral Alumni Survey Provides Insight of Successful Program

A new survey of alumni of the University of Maine's largest Ph.D. program - clinical psychology - finds more than 95 percent are licensed practitioners and most are researchers. The majority of those who graduated between 1995 and 2010 live in the Northeast and nearly 67 percent are involved in grant-supported research.  

“These survey results provide further validation of our graduate training efforts and fact that we have established a real center of excellence here at the university,” says Doug Nangle, professor and director of clinical training in the UMaine Department of Psychology. “Excelling in both practice and research, our graduates are impacting the mental health profession in Maine and beyond.”

The alumni viewed assessment and research training, faculty openness and role modeling, and presentation opportunities as particular strengths of UMaine’s program.  For the full press release, please visit the UMaine News story here.
