I fully support the petition to add accreditation by the Psychological Clinical Science Accreditation System (PCSAS) to the educational qualifications for licensure: Regulation 18VAC125-20-54.  There should clear documentation that students graduating from programs accredited by either American Psychological Association (APA) or Psychological Clinical Science Accreditation System (PCSAS) be eligible for licensure in Virginia. In other words, I support parity for both the APA and PCSAS accreditation systems.  The need for clinical scientists to be eligible for licensure is clear and graduates from PCSAS-accredited programs receive excellent training as both research scientists and clinical practitioners.  These professionals will serve the field by both developing and providing effective, empirically-supported treatments.
