It is built upon interdisciplinary research and training with primary strengths in developmental, social, and clinical psychology as well as cultural and medical anthropology. Designed for students who wish to focus primarily on basic research and theoretical issues leading to scientist's positions for basic psychological research in university, hospital, community, industry, or government settings.
