The Academy of Psychological Clinical Science is an alliance of leading, scientifically oriented, doctoral and internship training programs in clinical and health psychology in the United States and Canada. Academy membership is open to doctoral and internship programs with strong commitments to, and established records of, successful clinical science training.

The Academy held its inaugural meeting in New York City, July 1-2, 1995, in conjunction with the annual meeting of the American Psychological Society (APS). Representatives of 21 North American doctoral training programs met to draft a founding mission statement and bylaws for APCS.
