Zeba Ahmad decided to pursue a degree in Clinical Psychology

because it allows her to work within the healthcare profession in a way that she could make a significant contribution.  She chose SPU for a variety of reasons including the focus on mentoring in the program in the form of the research vertical teams as the senior students mentor the junior students. She also likes the training on not just research or clinical skills but on both. She found that this training is unique to this program as compared to others in the Seattle area.  Find out more about Zeba’s story.
