The Board of Directors of PCSAS invites applications for the next Executive Director (ED) of the organization.
PCSAS was formed in 2007 and is an independent, non-profit organization that provides rigorous, objective, and empirically based accreditation of Ph.D. programs. PCSAS programs adhere to a clinical science training model — one that supports and expands the scientific foundation for mental and behavioral health care and increases the quality and quantity of clinical scientists contributing to all aspects of public health for all people.
PCSAS leadership consists of the Board of Directors and Board President, the Review Committee and its Chair, and the ED. There are currently 48 clinical science programs in the US and Canada that are accredited by PCSAS. PCSAS’ parent organization is the Academy of Psychological Clinical Science and it is recognized by the Council for Higher Education Accreditation (CHEA) .
