• Demonstrating doctoral-level conceptualization, evaluation, analysis, and integration of discipline-specific knowledge across the curriculum.
• Demonstrating doctoral-level ability to understand and critique research; design, conduct, analyze, and communicate theoretically informed research in a manner that is culturally sensitive and consistent with legal code and ethical standards, including the APA ethics code.
• Demonstrating doctoral-level competence in the profession-wide competencies, including conducting evidence-based diagnosis, assessment, and psychotherapy; and applying theory and research to develop case conceptualizations, treatment plans, and interventions that are consistent with legal and ethical standards and individual and cultural diversity factors.
