With the high prevalence of potentially traumatic events and subsequent associated mental health problems and impaired functioning, there is a need for graduate training in trauma psychology. A national survey was conducted of all North American doctoral programs in psychology to ascertain the current status of training in trauma. Training directors were sent email invitations and asked to complete a Web based survey. A total of 151 out of 398 responded with adequate information about their program, and were included in the analyses. Only 1 in 5 offered a trauma psychology course as well as a practicum specifically working with traumatized populations. The most commonly cited barriers to addressing trauma were limited capacity for elective courses and little time and resources. Attention to trauma issues is important for the development of competent professional psychologists. Ways that doctoral programs can facilitate development of knowledge, skills and attitudes in trauma psychology are discussed.
