Canadians Pursuing PsyD

[Sandy4]

Hello,

I was wondering if there are any Canadians out there who are pursuing a PsyD in the US? I am a Canadian from Ontario and I am currently pursuing a PsyD in Clinical Psychology in Boston. I am torn as to whether I've made the right decision and I am looking for some input from others who are currently pursuing their PsyD or who have already completed the degree and are planning to work in Canada (or are already working there!) What is/was your experience like? What made you choose the PsyD as opposed to the PhD that is offered in Canada? What are your thoughts on the huge debt post-graduation?

Thank you! 🙂

Get your loans from some one who can't chase you back to Canada... 😉

Things have gotten a bit more complicated since the CPA & APA stopped acred. each other's internship sites. CPA = APA for all intents and purposes, though I would definitely talk with someone who has gone through the process because I know there have been some changes in the past 2-3 years. There are some people in the APPIC Internship thread that are applying to Canadian sites, it may be worth msg'ing them.
