A Psy.D. (Doctor of Psychology) is an advanced degree that focuses on professional practice rather than research. This is typically the degree earned by clinical psychologists who do not complete a dissertation but do complete a literature review. A Ph.D. (Doctor of Philosophy) would require a dissertation and more emphasis on research, while an M.D. (Doctor of Medicine) and Ed.D. (Doctor of Education) are not typically awarded to clinical psychologists.
