Postdoctoral Fellowship in Psychology
Psychology Fellows will broaden their expertise in the area of adolescent care by receiving population specific training in assessment, individual, group, and family therapy depending upon specific interests. Training opportunities will generally occur within specialty clinics but could include clinical experiences at Children’s of Alabama (COA) and within community organizations. Fellows are required to work on an independent research project with faculty mentorship during the course of their appointment, attend didactic classes focused on adolescent health taught by our multidisciplinary faculty, and actively participate in a community outreach program of their choice.
All applicants for the postdoctoral psychology fellowship must have completed:
1) APA- or CPA-accredited graduate programs in clinical or counseling psychology;
2) APA- or CPA-accredited internships
3) All requirements for their Ph.D. or Psy.D. prior to beginning their appointment.
4) Appointments are for one year, with possible renewal for a second year.
