It is often hard to navigate the world of mental health education and training programs, especially when one wants to specialize in the treatment of obsessive compulsive and related disorders. Since these programs involve such specialized therapy training, we have compiled a list of education and training programs with an emphasis on OCD and/or related disorders for our Student/Trainee Members.
Program coordinators, please use this form to submit edits, updates, or additions to the following list, and contact membership@iocdf.org if you have any questions.
- Graduate Programs - Programs for those seeking to become clinical therapists and/or researchers, including Masters- and Doctoral-level programs
- Practicum Sites - For those enrolled in Doctoral-level psychology graduate programs, these are sites where they can begin to practice their clinical skills, with supervision and guidance, and are usually accompanied by corresponding coursework. For those enrolled in Masters-level graduate programs, "practicum" and "internship" may be used interchangeably to refer to the same experience.
- Internship Sites - For those enrolled in Doctoral-level psychology graduate programs, these are sites where those towards the end of their programs have more autonomy in continuing to practice their clinical skills, with supervision and guidance, and are usually standalone. For those enrolled in Masters-level graduate programs, "practicum" and "internship" may be used interchangeably to refer to the same experience.
- Post-Doctoral/Post-Degree Training - Programs specifically for those who have completed their clinical degree (Masters- or Doctoral-level) and would like an additional level of focused training.
- Psychiatry Residency Training - Programs specifically for those who have graduated with a medical degree (MD, DO, etc.) and are in the next phase of their training.

Program Description:
The Clinical Psychology Ph.D. program at The University of Arizona follows a clinical science model of training. Central to our definition of clinical science is the belief that clinical research and application are reciprocally related: The best clinical skills are grounded in empirical and theoretical knowledge and clinical application continuously informs the evolution of clinical theory and research. Clinical psychology graduate students receive applied clinical training in the provision of assessment and intervention using evidence-based techniques. This training starts with two years in the Behavioral Health Clinic, our in-house training clinic, where students learn the latest in assessment & intervention techniques that includes learning to deliver exposure therapy for a range of anxiety disorders and OCD. Students have the option to continue their clinical training in-house to further their expertise in treating anxiety and related disorders using exposure therapy principles.

Program Description:
The New England OCD Institute is pleased to provide clinical training experiences to a wide range of mental health students from regional and national institutions of higher learning. We are committed to a strong emphasis on empirically-supported interventions, psychopathology assessment, and the provision of culturally-appropriate care.
Clinical psychology students will receive one hour of weekly supervision from a licensed psychologist. All students will receive an additional 1-2 hours per week of group supervision focused on OCD and related disorders. Supervision will include a combination of in-person and online modalities. Most of our clients have extreme psychopathology. As such, this should be considered an advanced placement setting and practicum students should have at least a master's degree or the equivalent. Placements are a minimum of one year and typically include 16-20 hours per week.
