It is anticipated that there will be 1-3 psychology post-doctoral fellowships offered in any given academic year. These 1-year fellowships are designed for the trainee to obtain clinical hours after all doctoral requirements are completed, including internship and dissertation. These positions were developed to enhance the trainee’s clinical skills, while focusing within one of several areas of specialization that the department has to offer. While the positions vary each year, areas of specialization have included Health Psychology, Trauma, Women's Health, Pediatric Health Psychology, Concussion, Pain Psychology and General Psychology. The work expectations and location of the fellowship vary contingent upon specialization. The post-doctoral fellow will develop a training plan with the Training Director and supervisor(s) that meets the fellow's interest(s), as well as the need within the department and skill set of the supervisor. The Fellowship may include other specialized components, based upon the interests of the fellow. For example, group therapy possibilities, assisting with inpatient services or minoring in a specialized clinic are some possibilities that may exist. The trainee will receive 2 hours of direct supervision as well as ½ hour supervision weekly from the Training Director and be expected to participate in 2 hours of education each week, in order to meet PA state licensing requirements.
