Average number of PhDs who are now teaching/researching who earned PhDs from these 35 schools = 3.2 (SD=3.2) with average year PhD conferred 2001. Rank Order Correlation between USNews list and my list of # trained = .61.

Ie, where did the current Profs at clinical psych programs earn their PhD? Which clinical psych schools did they attend and get their training?
I was curious, so I searched the top 30 US and 5 Canadian clinical psych PhD programs to see where faculty earned their PhD. Gives some insight of “best”

tis the season for PhD grad applications and faculty searches.

Ever wonder which are the “best” clinical psych PhD programs? Yes, there are many ways to answer this (cough, US News World Report reputation rankings). Another way is “who trains/teaches the researchers and teachers”?

The undergrad class I’m teaching on depression and mood disorders played the darth Vader empire theme from Star Wars when I walked in to give the last exam. I feel seen and understood 🤓😂

What are your thoughts about imputation for “bio” data more commonly collected and used in behavioral sciences? Eg immune markers, cortisol or CRH, mri brain indices like volume, dti, etc. always impute because “data are data”? Don’t bc bio data are “real” objective? Other views? colleagues’ views?
