The Children's MN Department of Psychological Services is pleased to offer
Pediatric Post Doctoral Fellowships for the 2024-2025 training year
Children's Minnesota is one of the ten largest pediatric health system in the United States and the only health system in Minnesota to provide care exclusively to children, from before birth through young adulthood. An independent and not-for-profit system since 1924, Children's Minnesota is one system serving kids throughout the Upper Midwest at two free-standing hospitals, nine primary care clinics, multiple specialty clinics and seven rehabilitation sites. Additionally, Children's MN is Minnesota's only Level I pediatric trauma center inside a hospital dedicated solely to children. As The Kids ExpertsTM, Children's Minnesota is uniquely poised to serve the highly specialized health care needs of children and is regularly ranked by U.S. News & World Report as a top children's hospital.
The Psychological Services department provides services on both the Minneapolis and St. Paul campuses. Specific services include individual and family therapy, psychological assessment, and inpatient consultation and liaison. We also have pediatric psychologists embedded in a number of specialty clinics. Our psychologists make up the faculty of the fellowship training program.
Three positions available for this one-year postdoctoral fellowship.
Position 1: Outpatient therapy and assessment with added training in Parent Child Interaction Therapy (PCIT). Training done by certified Within Agency Trainer.
Positions 2-3: Pediatric psychology placements in 1 or 2 of the following specialties, along with outpatient therapy caseload derived from specialty and consult referrals.
- Diabetes
- Feeding Disorders
- Eating Disorders
- Behavioral Sleep Medicine
- Cancer and Blood Disorders
- Integrated Behavioral Health
All fellows will participate in inpatient consultation and liaison, monthly didactics, and case presentations throughout the year. Fellowships will be based on both the Minneapolis and St. Paul campuses. Opportunity to supervise and/or mentor practicum students will be available.
Fellows will spend approximately 80% of time in activities related to clinical service provision either in the outpatient clinic or in their specialty area, 10% of their time in activities related to consultation and liaison, and 10% of time in didactics/professional development. The fellow will work with medical providers, multidisciplinary teams (e.g., psychiatrists, medical providers, nursing, social workers, occupational therapists, etc.), and families to advance skills in training, policy, and practice related to child and adolescent mental health services.
Applications will require CV, letter of interest describing any specific training in pediatric specialties, and three letters of reference (one from someone at your academic institution).
