As a faculty member of the Clinical area within the University of Virginia’s Department of Psychology, as the Director of our department’s training clinic, and as a practicing Virginia-licensed clinical psychologist, I am in full support of this guidance document to recognize PCSAS as an accrediting body acceptable to the Virginia Board of Psychology. I applaud the Board’s acknowledgement of the value of adding PCSAS. By facilitating and supporting the training and recruitment of PCSAS faculty, students, and graduates who understand and value science in clinical practice and scholarship, the burden of mental illness in the Commonwealth of Virginia will be reduced and our field’s positive impact on current mental health burdens will be enhanced.
