Postgraduate Outcomes
Our Postgraduate Outcome for the Past 8 Resident Classes:
- In the past 8 years including the Class of 2009, our residency program has had the opportunity of recruiting 45 graduate students representing 31 different accredited clinical and counseling psychology graduate programs.
- In the past 8 resident classes recruited including the Class of 2009, twelve residents (26%) could be classified as representing an ethnic minority (above the 17 percent current minority enrollment in all psychology graduate programs in the United States as reported by the APA as reported by the National Center for Education Statistics).
- In the past 7 resident classes, Post-graduate success has been consistently high with 100% having graduated from their respective Doctoral Programs and 97% graduating within six months of completing their residency.
- For the past 7 resident classes, eighty-two percent of all our graduates and 100 percent of the graduates seeking postdoctoral fellowships obtained postdoctoral fellowships in their desired area of study upon completion of our program.
- For the past 7 resident classes, 100% were employed within six months of completing their residency. Consistent with the broad goals of our “Empirical Clinician” model the positions currently held by our graduates are diverse with 30% holding postdoctoral fellowship positions (ten in academic medical centers and two in the VA system), 18% holding staff positions in VA medical centers, 26% private practice, 23% holding academic positions in medical/graduate schools, 3% holding staff positions in private medical centers,
- The MCG-VAMC consortium has an enduring track record of producing psychologists who pursue careers that are directed toward integrated approaches to health care issues. Including data from the last 7 graduating classes, 70 percent are now actively engaged in the fields of medical/health psychology relevant to adult and/or child interdisciplinary health care settings.
- During their residency training, the last 5 classes produced 30 scientific publications, submitted an additional 18 papers for publication, and presented 37 papers/posters at national/regional meetings.
