UNIVERSITY OF MINNESOTA MEDICAL SCHOOL
The Division of General Medicine in the Department of Medicine of the University of Minnesota Medical School is seeking a full-time clinical health psychologist. The health psychologist position is at the level of Assistant Professor on the Clinical Scholar Track. The position primarily involves clinical assessment, psychotherapy/intervention, and hospital consultation with medical patients, including those with acute, chronic, and life-threatening illnesses. Outpatient activities are in the Primary Care Center and other clinics of Minnesota Health (M Health) at the University of Minnesota Medical Center.
Clinical services are provided through the University of Minnesota Physicians, a professional organization with over 700 physicians and 1,400 health professionals who work interprofessionally in primary care and specialty care areas and are dedicated to providing quality patient-focused care. Health Psychology services are provided on an outpatient basis and as inpatient consultation to medical units. Most clinical services will be provided in the Clinics and Surgery Center which is opening in February, 2016.

It also provides exposure to a broad range of psychiatric conditions and behavioral challenges.
Although this position is primarily clinical, opportunities for scholarship and research collaboration exist. Participation in ongoing research projects and in grant-funded research is strongly encouraged. The position offers limited involvement in education and training. The position may include participation in quality improvement projects involving management of chronic medical illness (e.g., Diabetes Mellitus) and depression.
