INSIDE THE DEPARTMENTAs an integral part of the School of Medicine, the Department of Medical and Clinical Psychology (MPS) is committed to excellence in psychology during periods of both peace and war. We provide the nation with military clinical psychologists dedicated to career service in the Department of Defense, as well as psychologists dedicated to both research and evidence-based clinical care and to advancing the health of the uniformed services and the nation. We serve the uniformed services and the nation as a premier graduate program in psychology with a worldwide perspective for education, research, policy, service, and consultation, and we are unique in relating these activities to military medicine, disaster medicine, and military readiness. Military psychologists earn the privilege and unique opportunity to provide care to Service members when they are home or deployed in the field. Military psychologists are stationed all over the world and not only provide care, conduct research, inform and set policy, but are also teachers and leaders throughout the military. Civilian psychology graduates from our program have become leading researchers and administrators, who have unparalleled experience working within military and veteran settings. Mission:Ensure the readiness and resilience of America's Warfighter and the health and well-being of the military community by developing and supporting uniformed behavioral health professionals, scientists, and leaders through graduate training and continuing education, cutting-edge, military-relevant research, and the provision of operational support. We lead in the development of training and education and have an education community that disseminates research-based treatment and the latest advances in military behavioral health. Vision:MPS aspires to be the recognized leader and central hub for the development of behavioral health professionals equipped to enhance the lethality and resilience of the US fighting force and support the military community through cutting-edge training, education, and research. MPS will ensure that all service members, veterans, and their families receive quality, culturally responsive behavioral healthcare that meets their unique needs. For 2026 academic year, we will be accepting up to 11 qualified students, 9 into our military clinical psychology program and up to 2 qualified students into our civilian clinical psychology program.
