Advisors

Upon entering the program, students are assigned a faculty advisor that matches their clinical-research interests. This faculty member serves as both the academic advisor and research mentor. Advisors guide students through the selection of courses, independent study and practicum experiences necessary to complete the program. They provide information, direction, feedback and long-term guidance. Advisors meet with students regularly to review academic performance and to discuss future plans. In addition, an annual 3-way meeting of student-advisor-DCT is held to review a students progress and recommendations made for further training

In addition to faculty advisors, all incoming students are also matched to student mentors who also assist students in their transition to graduate school and adjustment to the program.
