We are recruiting for one fellowship position. This fellow may select a major training experience in primary care, autism, or pediatric psychology. While they will spend most of the time in their identified track, they will also have the option to participate in minor rotations in the other training areas. Below are the available training opportunities by track:
Primary Care: This track offers training with a growing team of psychologists who have been integrated into the NCH-Toledo Primary Care sites. The team is comprised of 3 psychologists integrated into 4 of the 8 NCH-T primary care clinics. Our primary care clinics serve a diverse patient population. Our model currently offers hybrid care with a mix of integrated and co-located appointments characterized by rapid consultation and intervention during medical appointments and short-term follow-up interventions for some patients. Fellows are trained to serve a broad range of ages (0-21) and presenting concerns. The fellow will also receive interprofessional, team-based training experiences with pediatric medical residents. There will also be opportunities for assessment with the primary care setting and program development.
Autism: This track offers participation in assessment experiences designed to develop expertise in the field of neurodevelopmental disabilities. Fellows will primarily evaluate children suspected of autism or a developmental delay. Following the autism intake appointment, fellows will complete a full assessment battery to further document the child’s functioning and generate recommendations for services. Fellows will also complete their own psychological evaluations in order to assess for a variety of developmental delays/disabilities and other psychological disorders. Each fellow’s schedule will be designed to fit the fellow’s individual training goals. Fellows on this track will have an opportunity to assess autism in our autism clinic in addition to autism evaluation opportunities within our primary care offices.
Pediatric Psychology: This track offers participation in both inpatient consultation-liaison services and outpatient therapy services for patients either seen in the hospital and/or followed by medical subspeciality clinics. Fellows would provide brief problem-focused, solution-oriented behavioral health care to youth and families during hospital admission to the general pediatric, pediatric intensive care, or the neonatal intensive care units. They would also provide brief outpatient behavioral health care for a broad range of referral concerns related to the child’s medical condition. There may be opportunity to provide longer-term care. Fellows on this track will also receive interprofessional, team-based training experiences with pediatric medical residents and the opportunity to work across medical subspecialty clinics. There will also be opportunities for program improvement and development.
