Respecialization Clinical Psychology

I am thinking about doing this after I get my Psy.D. This way I can have the backing of a B&M to go alone with my Online degree. (to shut up any bigots). So I was wondering if anyone new any schools that did Respecialization for those who have Pys.Ds. Most places I have seen only do PH.Ds.

 

Why don't you just get a Psy.D. that is APA accredited? I don't know if it is universal but my understanding is that if you already have a "clinical" based psychology doctorate that you cannot respecialize or that some schools don't accept you into their program. Fielding is one of those. Make sure you are clear on APA's policy on this before you lock yourself in.

 

If you want to re specialize, your doctoral degree has to be in a non clinical area. You can't get a non-APA approved Ph.D. in clinical and then re specialize in clinical psychology at an APA approved school. Your first Ph.d. must be in something like experimental or developmental.

 

How about health, to general .

 

The PsyD degree is traditionally a clinically-oriented doctorate. Now, if you pursue this degree through University of the Rockies, you could try to plead your case and state that unlike the other 99.9% of PsyD degrees out there, this one is not clinical. However, I would find out for sure, before starting the program. You might be better off pursuing a PhD through Northcentral University. NCU offers a PhD in Health Psychology.

 

I am in health now in Walden. But I really want to do sports. But after being here for a while I understand how key a APA support and Clinical degree would be.

 

what does this Respecialization Clinical Psychology mean?

What does it mean to respecialize?
Once you do respec, what does this allow you to do?
I saw that it says it is better to get a non-clinical degree and then specialize... what does this allow you to do.... what type of job...
Someone please explain this to me in detail
I understand that UoR is not apa accred. so does this mean that you can not practice as a psyc?...
What can you do with a PsyD from UoR??

 

I am interested in sport psychology
