Position offers:

The Postdoctoral Residency has opportunities around three types of evaluations, specifically the Early Childhood Evaluation (Birth through 5), Child and Adolescent Evaluation (6 and older), and Neuropsychology or Adult Evaluation. Overall, residents participate in two to three evaluations per week. Residents receive supervision training through weekly tiered group supervision with doctoral interns and 45 minutes of provision of supervision. Residents receive two hours monthly devoted to didactic seminars, with an emphasis in supervision, and at least one hour per week in group multidisciplinary case consultation meetings. As is typical for child serving agencies, additional time is required for consultation with referral sources, community agencies, schools, families and other service providers.

Residents have the option between two training tracks. Both training tracks are designed to require 40 hours per week of each resident’s time; variability in this estimate is most likely related to resident experience and facility in report writing and is reduced over the course of the year. Residents receive a ramp up, incrementally increasing their evaluation caseload monthly during the ramp up period while receiving more hands-on role modeling, observation and supervision toward increasing independence by the end of their ramp up period.

Training Track #1: Clinical Child Psychology

• The Training Track option 1 combines Fraser Autism and Mental Health psychological evaluations and an outpatient caseload. Residents complete two evaluations per week, along with one hour of corresponding supervision.
• The typical outpatient intervention caseload for each resident includes seven to eight outpatient psychotherapy cases (children/adolescents, adults, families, groups) per year, with clientele drawn from the Mental Health and Autism programs. Another hour is spent in supervision with a focus on intervention.

Training Track #2: Neuropsychology

• The Training Track option 2 includes a combination of Fraser Autism and Mental Health psychological evaluations and neuropsychological evaluation. Residents will complete two neuropsychological evaluations and receive an hour of supervision with a qualified neuropsychologist.
• Residents have the choice to complete one Autism and Mental Health psychological evaluation or an additional neuropsychological evaluation, and maintain a small, short-term therapy caseload of outpatient psychotherapy clients (e.g., parent coaching, executive functioning skill building) or psychoeducational groups while receiving one additional hour of individual supervision.
