A Message from the Training Director
Thank you for your interest in our Adult Clinical and Health Psychology Postdoctoral Fellowship Program. The start date for our next class of fellows is August 30, 2021. We have one open
position available for the Adult Clinical and Health Psychology Postdoctoral
Fellowship track for the 2021/2022 training year. We welcome your
application.
Our program mission focuses on training future psychologists to function with high levels of competency, diverse clinical skills and leadership in multidisciplinary health care and community settings. Our fellowship is truly a program of comprehensive training that incorporates opportunity to acquire significant depth and breadth of supervised clinical training and didactic activity with flexibility in programming across two core areas:
1. Outpatient psychiatric assessment, psychological testing, consultation and treatment in our Psychiatry and Behavioral Health Department with exposure to a full spectrum of adult psychological disorders.
2. Clinical health psychology consultation in affiliation with primary care and multiple specialty medical departments and medical teams.
We are a unique "hybrid" fellowship program, incorporating both Clinical and Clinical Health Psychology training into a combined curriculum. To accomplish these broad training goals in both specialty areas for early career placement in competitive settings, our psychology fellowship program is an optional 1 to 2 years in duration. Whether you wish to do a one-year fellowship or stay for the additional career enhancing benefits of a second year, that decision is open to you and we will support what you decide as you settle in and see the options and benefits. The two year option has been preferred by former fellows and evolved from our findings that a two-year fellowship has significant benefits for career acceleration for our graduates. Support for completion of the EPPP and Wisconsin state licensure as well as preparation for board certification are incorporated into the training experience.
Marshfield Clinic Health System (MCHS) provides an unparalleled training environment to achieve our program's mission. MCHS and Marshfield Medical Center is a unique setting where fellows benefit from learning in a large tertiary care medical center (one of the largest non-profit medical centers in the U.S.) with a clear sense of community that is supportive to both patients and staff. You will benefit from your training here, but you will soon recognize that your activities also benefit the patients and families you care for as part of the medical center's mission for exemplary patient care, education and research. MCHS includes:
