I have a Master's in Clinical Psychology. This year I am applying to PhD programs. Although I would prefer to get a PhD in Clinical Psychology, I was considering as Plan B, a PhD in Experimental Psychology.
However, does anyone know how this would impact me when I graduate and register?
I know one psychologist who has a Master's in Clinical Psychology but a doctorate in Education, yet he practices as a clinical psychologist. He graduated probably 30+ years ago...so I'm not sure how it works now.
I want to ensure that I can practice as a Clinical psychologist. This would be in Canada. If I got a doctorate in Experimental Psych, it looks like I could register in provinces (e.g., Ontario) at the doctoral level because I would have taken the additional courses needed...?
