The Post-degree Certificate Program in Marriage and Family Therapy at the University of Rochester School of Medicine and Dentistry provides training for professionals who already have an advanced degree (MS, MD or Ph.D.), and are interested in specialty training in family therapy theory and clinical practice.

Students receive education and training in the major family therapy conceptual and clinical models, theories of family development across the life cycle and relevant research. They are generally full-time employees and work in a variety of medical and community mental health settings. Post-degree courses are offered in conjunction with courses in the masters program in order to meet individual needs and goals.
