I believe it would be extremely beneficial to the Commonwealth of Virginia for the graduates from PCSAS accredited programs to be eligible for licensure in Virginia. Graduates from PCSAS accredited programs are extremely well trained, both as research scientists and as clinical practitioners. They attend highly regarded internship programs, have high passing rates on the EPPP, and pursue careers that focus both on the production of scientific knowledge and the delivery and dissemination of evidence-based assessment and intervention techniques. Their expertise makes them exceptionally qualified and competent health service providers. Given the need for quality psychological services in Virginia, allowing the graduates from these programs to be licensed in Virginia would be a major service to the residents of Virginia. In addition, given their engagement in practice, supervision, and research, granting license eligibility to graduates from PCSAS accredited programs – a portion of whom go on to be faculty in doctoral, internship, and postdoctoral training programs – would be a major benefit to the future generations of clinical psychologists, to the field, and ultimately to the public’s mental health. Essentially, allowing graduates from PCSAS accredited programs to be eligible for licensure in Virginia is in the interest of both the public and future generations of psychologists.
