CLINICAL PSYCHOLOGY POSTDOCTORAL FELLOWSHIP PROGRAM APPLICATION DEADLINE FOR THE 2025-2026 TRAINING YEAR: December 9, 2024 PTSD-PAIN-SUD TRACK NUMBER OF POSITIONS AVAILABLE:  2 The JBVAMC


trains two fellows for our 1-year postdoctoral program in psychology aimed at providing interprofessional education (IPE) in the treatment and assessment of post-traumatic stress disorder,


pain, and substance use disorder. Fellows develop competencies in clinically addressing these diagnoses individually, with reliance on empirically based practices (EBPs), with comorbidity


among them being a particular emphasis. Multiple healthcare disciplines are leveraged to provide the fellows consultation and didactic experiences on these topics, and collaboration with


non-psychologist healthcare providers is a focus of the training year. The goal of this program is to prepare fellows to emerge from the program fully prepared to independently practice in


an interdisciplinary, collaborative care setting in the VHA, with competencies of delivering services using a culturally responsive, patient-centered approach. SERIOUS MENTAL ILLNESS NUMBER
