This decision is based on the CoA’s professional judgement that the program has demonstrated that it adheres to the Standards of Accreditation in Health Service Psychology (SoA). The current record indicates that a full review of the program is warranted within ten years of its last site visit, including interim reporting, to ensure continued adherence to the Standards.","WebsiteURL":"https://www.fit.edu/psychology/academics-and-learning/clinical-psychology/","DocC20URL":"https://www.fit.edu/psychology/academics-and-learning/clinical-psychology/clinical-psychology-psyd-program-data/","InitialAccredDate":"1983-04-26T00:00:00.000Z","CurrentAccredStatus":"Accredited","NextSiteVisitYear":"2035","HistoricalNames":null,"GrantYears":null,"RegionalAccreditor":null,"Comment_1":null,"Comment_2":null,"Comment_3":null,"ShowOrHide":true,"Guideline":10,"D.I.A.1":0,"D.I.A.2":0,"D.I.B.1":0,"D.I.B.2":0,"D.I.C.1":0,"D.I.C.2":0,"D.I.C.3":0,"D.I.C.4":0,"D.I.D.1":0,"D.I.D.2":0,"D.I.D.3":0,"D.I.D.4":0,"D.I.(AI)":0,"D.II.A.1-2":0,"D.II.B.1.a":1,"D.II.B.1.b":1,"D.II.B.2":0,"D.II.B.3":0,"D.II.B.4.a-b":0,"D.II.C.1":0,"D.II.C.2":0,"D.II.D.1.a":0,"D.II.D.1.b":0,"D.II.D.2.a-b":0,"D.II.D.3":0,"D.II.(AI)":0,"D.III.A.1":0,"D.III.B.1":0,"D.III.B.2":0,"D.III.B.3":0,"D.III.C.1":0,"D.III.C.2":0,"D.III.C.3":0,"D.III.(AI)":0,"D.IV.A.1":0,"D.IV.A.2":0,"D.IV.B.1-2":0,"D.IV.B.3":0,"D.IV.B.4":0,"D.IV.B.5.a":0,"D.IV.B.5.b":0,"D.IV.(AI)":0,"D.V.A.1":0,"D.V.A.2":0,"D.V.A.3":0,"D.V.B.1":0,"D.V.B.2":0,"D.V.(AI)":0,"I.I.A.1":0,"I.I.A.2":0,"I.I.A.3":0,"I.I.B.1":0,"I.I.B.2":0,"I.I.B.3":0,"I.I.B.4":0,"I.I.B.5":0,"I.I.C.1":0,"I.I.C.2":0,"I.I.C.3":0,"I.I.C.4":0,"I.I.D.1":0,"I.I.D.2":0,"I.I.(AI)":0,"I.II.A.1-2":0,"I.II.B.1":0,"I.II.B.2":0,"I.II.C.1":0,"I.II.C.2":0,"I.II.C.3":0,"I.II.D.1.a":0,"I.II.D.1.b":0,"I.II.D.2":0,"I.II.(AI)":0,"I.III.A.1":0,"I.III.A.2":0,"I.III.A.3":0,"I.III.B.1-2":0,"I.III.(AI)":0,"I.IV.A.1":0,"I.IV.A.2-3":0,"I.IV.B":0,"I.IV.(AI)":0,"I.V.A.1":0,"I.V.A.2":0,"I.V.A.3":0,"I.V.B.1":0,"I.V.B.2":0,"I.V.(AI)":0,"P.I.A.1":0,"P.I.A.2":0,"P.I.A.3":0,"P.I.A.4":0,"P.I.B.1":0,"P.I.B.2":0,"P.I.B.3":0,"P.I.B.4":0,"P.I.B.5":0,"P.I.C.1":0,"P.I.C.2":0,"P.I.C.3":0,"P.I.C.4":0,"P.I.C.5":0,"P.I.D.1":0,"P.I.D.2":0,"P.I.(AI)":0,"P.II.A":0,"P.II.B":0,"P.II.C.1":0,"P.II.C.2":0,"P.II.C.3-4":0,"P.II.D.1.a":0,"P.II.D.1.b":0,"P.II.D.2":0,"P.II.(AI)":0,"P.III.A.1":0,"P.III.A.2":0,"P.III.A.3":0,"P.III.B":0,"P.III.(AI)":0,"P.IV.A.1-2":0,"P.IV.B.1":0,"P.IV.B.2":0,"P.IV.C":0,"P.IV.(AI)":0,"P.V.A.1":0,"P.V.A.2":0,"P.V.B.1":0,"P.V.B.2":0,"P.V.(AI)":0,"M.I.A.1":0,"M.I.A.2":0,"M.I.B.1":0,"M.I.B.2":0,"M.I.C.1":0,"M.I.C.2":0,"M.I.C.3":0,"M.I.C.4":0,"M.I.D.1":0,"M.I.D.2":0,"M.I.D.3":0,"M.I.D.4":0,"M.II.A.1-2":0,"M.II.B.1.a":0,"M.II.B.1.b":0,"M.II.B.2":0,"M.II.B.3":0,"M.II.C.1":0,"M.II.D.1.a":0,"M.II.D.1.b":0,"M.II.D.2":0,"M.II.D.3":0,"M.III.A":0,"M.III.B.1":0,"M.III.B.2":0,"M.III.B.3":0,"M.III.C.1":0,"M.III.C.2":0,"M.III.C.3":0,"M.III.C.4":0,"M.IV.A.1":0,"M.IV.A.2":0,"M.IV.A.3":0,"M.IV.B.1-2":0,"M.IV.B.3":0,"M.IV.B.4":0,"M.IV.B.5.a":0,"M.IV.B.5.b":0,"M.V.A.1":0,"M.V.A.2":0,"M.V.B.1":0,"M.V.B.2":0,"StandardsForReporting":"<b>D.II.B.1.a:</b> Discipline-Specific Knowledge\nDiscipline-specific knowledge serves as a cornerstone for the establishment of identity in and orientation to health services psychology.
