MACLP Practicum Preparation (on-ground campuses)
The on-ground MACLP (Masters in Clinical Psychology) Clinical Training team works closely with students, faculty, supervisors, and mental health agency representatives to support a student’s practicum experience (i.e. traineeship at a mental health agency) while enrolled in the program. The on-ground MACLP Clinical Training team develops and maintains strong relationships with approved mental health agencies all over Southern California in order to provide traineeship opportunities to students in the MACLP program. The on-ground MACLP Clinical Training team also oversees essential University and California Board of Behavioral Sciences Licensure requirements in practicum classes that students, supervisors, and faculty must complete in order for the student to graduate and pursue licensure.
New on-ground campus MACLP Students
The on-ground MACLP Clinical Training Department welcomes you. As a New Student you will gain access to your on-ground MACLP Clinical Training Modules in Courses through your Wavenet account. You will find three interactive training modules that contain essential resources for your success in the MACLP program. The Modules to refer to as a MACLP on-ground campus student are: MACLP CT Homeroom, MACLP Module 1: Prep for Practicum and MACLP Module 2: Practicum Guide. Your Clinical Training team's contact information is also listed in the modules and the team is available to guide you through your pre-licensed experience as a practicum student.
Coaching/Consulting with Clinical Training Team
Students are encouraged to work closely with their campus-affiliated Clinical Training Coordinator (Meet the Team) while they are in the program. The Clinical Training team can help guide you to resources that will support you in securing a practicum site, navigate challenges at your practicum setting, and understand how to complete the requirements for the program and licensure. The team has years of experience working clinically and understands the unique challenges Trainees face in the field. The team has extensive knowledge on BBS regulations, as well as the legal and ethics codes of the profession. We are here to support your professional development within your practicum setting.
