Yale University's program in clinical psychology is geared for students interested in research, not practicing psychology, according to their website. It is an interdisciplinary program; thus, students also work at clinics and research facilities to obtain practical training in research methods. Many students publish research articles in scholarly journals while in school, and all are required to complete a research project to earn a Ph.D.
