INTEGRATED CARE FAMILY PSYCHOLOGY TRACK: A Clinical Psychology Postdoctoral Fellowship position is available in our Integrated Care Family Psychology track with an obstetrics and gynecology (OB/GYN) concentration. This position is available within the Division of Collaborative Care and Wellness. Our program is a one-year APA accredited program. Some trainees may wish to have additional training and with faculty agreement, remain for a second year.
Fellows can expect to receive specialized training in integrated care, perinatal mental health, and family systems psychology, including medical family therapy.
Fellows maintain a supervised clinical practice with emphasis on integrated primary/specialty care and family systems. Specialized training in the OB/GYN concentration includes providing consultation, assessment, and treatment to obstetrics and gynecology patients and their families. Close collaboration with a team of healthcare professionals, including medical clinicians, social workers, and nutritionists, is an essential component of the role. The fellow provides individual, couples, and family therapy to a diverse, largely underserved population in a clinic that provides general OB/GYN, high-risk pregnancy, family planning, and chronic pelvic pain care, among other services. The fellow also provides brief psychoeducational consultation and supportive counseling for patients and couples attending a specialty care Fertility Clinic.
Fellows are also uniquely trained in the URMC Physician Communication Coaching model, preparing them to serve as consultants to medical clinicians to enhance the patient-family-physician relationship in outpatient OB/GYN settings.
Fellows participate in coursework and professional seminars dedicated to expanding knowledge base and skill development for primary care psychology and medical family therapy principles. The Department of Psychiatry’s Psychology Training Program is committed to diversity, equity and inclusion as core values in our program, with seminars supporting and extending trainee cultural competence and cultural humility.
Fellows may also have opportunity for supervised teaching and supervision and often partner with Fellowship faculty working on ongoing scholarly projects, clinical quality improvements, and research.
Our fellowship launches psychologists who are highly qualified for careers in patient care, teaching, and administration. Competitive candidates have interests and/or experience with health psychology, perinatal mental and/or reproductive health, couples and family therapy, chronic and acute illness, and systems theory.
