that different is good. Informed by
a deep commitment to science, Forest’s programs follow the practitioner-scholar
training model which integrates theory and practice,
and prepares competent clinicians for practice in the real-world. We offer a
supportive learning environment that respects both individual differences and
cultural diversity while affirming a sense of shared community.

you want a school that provides service to others, close faculty relationships
and a community of scholars, you will appreciate the difference that is Forest.
