I have noticed a program called biological psychopathology, which one of the biggest difference from clinical psychology is that it does not require clinical training.
I am thinking that I may think about this program as I am interested in doing research in the field of mental health. However, I am not sure whether the job market is more limited, especially in academia. I am not sure what programs in academia are open for this major? I guess when they hire faculty, clinical psychology programs usually require a degree in clinical psychology because they can supervise students in clinical practicums?
For those who are thinking of going to academia, I wonder why they have to choose clinical psychology vs. more research-focused program as it usually takes a longer time in clinical as they have to have practicums and internship, which will of course limit the time on research.
I am a little confused as to which program to pick in this institute, whether clinical or bio psychopathology (the faculty I am interested in are listed in both programs) . I am mostly concerned with the length of program and job market (especially in academia). Thanks.
