The Pediatric Psychology Clinic and Consultation Service (PPCS) Program provides postdoctoral fellowship training in pediatric psychology as part of the Kennedy Krieger Institute (KKI) professional psychology training program in collaboration with the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine (JHSOM). The PPCS fellowship training program is designed to increase both depth and scope in the context of a busy and specialized team of pediatric psychologists, doctoral interns, and interdisciplinary colleagues, with attention paid to the special training interests and needs of the fellow (i.e., interest in particular patient populations, settings, units, clinics, etc.). It prepares postdoctoral fellows to function as psychologists in a wide range of health care settings and across a treatment continuum including: the acute medical hospital (e.g., PICU, school-aged and adolescent units), pediatric subspecialty clinics, and the outpatient clinic. Additionally, fellows have the opportunity to attend numerous training activities, including PPCS team didactics, departmental professional development seminars, departmental Equity, Diversity, & Inclusion (EDI) seminars, and hospital-wide (KKI and JHSOM) presentations. Fellowship training is currently available for first or second year fellows. 

Successful applicants must have completed an APA-accredited internship with an emphasis in pediatric psychology.
