Spring 2013 Vol. 1 No. 2
Another Year of Excellent Doctoral Training
1
We have had another great year for
the doctoral psychology program.
Ten students have matched with
APA accredited internships,
spanning the country from Texas to
Alaska to North Carolina. Faculty
and students have been highly
productive clinically and via
research. Unlike many scientist-
practitioner programs across the
country, our faculty actually
practice. Too often these days,
many academics do not value the
practice of clinical work, preferring
to focus almost exclusively on
2
research.
Several students defended their
dissertations this year and have
published and presented papers in a
variety of forums.
Through Scholarships for
Disadvantaged Students, the
program was able to provide
additional funding for 10 students.
We have recently completed the
admissions process for 2013-14
with an incoming class of 8
students, who have excellent
credentials for doctoral training.
3
We hosted the Psychodynamic
Research Symposium and Visiting
Professor. Our Psychology Clinic
continued to serve as an excellent
source of training and a valuable
community resource.

The UDM Doctoral Program was a recent recipient of a Scholarships for Disadvantaged
Students (SDS) Grant from the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) of the
Department of Health and Human Resources (HHS). The SDS is a grant program that provides
funds to eligible accredited U.S. health professions schools to make scholarships to students
from disadvantaged backgrounds who have financial need and are enrolled or accepted for
enrollment as full time students.
The program is scheduled to receive $142, 852 per year for 4 years for a total of $571,408.
Funding for student scholarships is under way for the 2012-13 academic year. Students
submitted applications for grants, and funding is based upon criteria determined by the Federal
Government for either economic and/or environmental disadvantage, with demonstration of
financial need being essential to receive funding. Grants must be for at least half of the student’s
tuition in a given year but can also cover expenses related to training, including living expenses.
Institutions that receive awards must develop and implement a program for recruiting and
retaining students from disadvantaged backgrounds. Schools are required to give preference to
students for whom the cost of attendance would constitute a severe financial hardship and to
former recipients of scholarships. Ten UDM students met criteria for funding.
The program has submitted its first progress report to HRSA, which will inform programs about
funding for the 2nd year of the program. Assuming the funding proceeds according to plan,
students will be able to apply for funding for the 2013-14 during the summer.

Doctoral Program in Clinical
Psychology presented the
Distinguished Student Practice
Award to co-recipients, Matt
Ventimiglia and Jay Witherell.
This award is for distinguished
clinical service as recognized by
faculty and supervisors. One of the
special aspects of the award is that
the program invites clinical
supervisors to be part of the
nominating process.

demonstrated excellence in
clinical work. Dr. Witherell was
noted to be “outstanding” in
clinical work and showed
“remarkable commitment and

Supervisors of the UDM Psychology

Our supervisors provide great training in psychoanalytic work, and we would like to acknowledge their valuable contribution to the success of our students. Below are supervisors who have worked with our students over the last several years.
