Abstract
Doctoral students in professional psychology face broad challenges, such as changing market demands and increased competition for careers in traditional practice settings. To prepare for these demands, students must decide how much and when to specialize, if at all, predoctorally. Complicating matters, students in single practice area programs (clinical, counseling, or school) may risk becoming insulated within the culture of their practice area, which can limit exposure and understanding of the larger practice field. Despite conditions that may drive potential students away from psychology, little research exists on efforts to address student needs, or on student perspectives of doctoral training in general. One training model that is sensitive to these student needs and concerns is the Combined‐Integrated (C‐I) model. An exploratory study of C‐I student and graduate opinions, experiences, and aspirations revealed that C‐I students value breadth of training, diversity of experience, and professional flexibility, and that they experience diverse training opportunities and socialization experiences. Implications of these results vis‐à‐vis the larger framework of student concerns are examined. © 2004 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Clin Psychol.
