Academic Programs
Clinical Child and Adolescent Psychology (CCAP) Programs
Our training programs foster lifelong learning and support the professional development of trainees.
Clinical Child and Adolescent Psychology
UC Davis Health is dedicated to advancing the education and training of highly qualified behavioral health professionals in psychology and psychiatry.
Our Clinical Child and Adolescent Psychology (CCAP) training programs exemplify this commitment to lifelong learning. We cultivate an environment that promotes growth across all areas of professional competency by recognizing and building upon each trainee’s strengths while supporting their continued development. We also value and honor the unique cultural identities that trainees bring to our team, clinic, and community.

We offer two training programs in Clinical Child and Adolescent Psychology in the form of a doctoral internship and a postdoctoral fellowship.
Doctoral Internship
Our one-year doctoral internship integrates clinical training with a strong academic approach.

Fellows receive advanced training and provide direct psychological services during this one-year program.
