We are particularly interested in fellows with clinical and research interests and experiences that have focused on one or more of the following areas: integrated behavioral health primary care, early identification and screening, underserved populations, work force education in evidence-based approaches, and effectiveness studies.

Primary Care Family Psychology (PCF): Three fellowship slots are available featuring intensive clinical training in integrated care, primary care behavioral health, and medical family therapy. Positions offer opportunities for collaborative care with physicians and other health professionals, inter-professional education, family therapy training, teaching, and scholarship in urban primary care settings. Concentrations are available in Pediatrics (2 slots) and Women’s Health (1 slot).

PCF: Pediatrics: Two fellowship slots are available in a Pediatric concentration.  The primary placement for the pediatric fellow is in an urban pediatric clinic. The fellow provides therapy to children and their families, collaborates and consults with medical professionals as part of an interdisciplinary team, and provides consultation and teaching to pediatric residents. One year the fellow works full-time in the pediatric clinic while the other year the fellow spends most of his/her time in the pediatric clinic along with about a quarter time in an outpatient family therapy clinic in the academic medical center seeing children and their families, many of whom have comorbid medical problems.

The women’s health fellow specializes in providing consultation, assessment, and treatment to women's health patients and their families.
