Ah. Thanks. I always wondered about that. I've long considered the PhD to be at root an academic degree, and assumed the PsyD was more the pracitioner track. So I couldn't really understand why the programs were so similar in structure.

- For a PsyD program to receive APA accreditation, they may need a research requirement of some kind (since APA still follows the scientist-practitioner model). In many states, to be licensed, you need to come from an APA accredited program.

- This, in my previous experience, is true of nearly all PsyD students.
