1.) Pick one Clinical Psychology PhD and one Clinical Psychology PsyD program from the AP-LS guide and compare their APPIC match rates. APPIC is the organization that hosts ‘the match.’ There is a PDF file you can find (Google ‘APPIC match rates by doctoral program’), then find your two programs in the document and compare.
Post your findings and reactions to those findings. Discuss what you think is the purpose of this assignment.
Note that some universities have both types of programs – you can pick two from the same or different universities.
2.) What is the difference between Clinical Assessment Instruments (CAIs), Forensically Relevant Instruments (FRIs), and Forensic Assessment Instruments (FAIs)? Identify an example of each for a specific forensic referral question that a psychologist could use (e.g., CST, MSO).
