The Post Doctoral Training Program at WellSpan Philhaven is contained within a community-based, not-for-profit integrated health system serving central Pennsylvania. Behavior Health services are offered in a variety of settings including the inpatient Adult Behavioral Health Unit of the York Hospital and five outpatient locations serving the full range of mental health needs of the community from children to geriatric patients. We currently have Post Doctoral Interns placed in Primary Care practices and working with a variety of specialized medical problems. Residents perform a variety of clinical functions, including individual, marital, family and group psychotherapy, diagnosis and assessment, in-service training, and consultation with medical staff. A major objective of our Post Doctoral Program is training psychologists to function effectively as part of a multi-disciplinary team within a large, integrated health system such as ours. Our program has a strong cognitive behavioral theoretical orientation and our didactic training relies heavily on demonstration, role-play, and review of videotaped interactions. Residents receive two hours of individual supervision, one hour of group  supervision, an hour of peer supervision with other residents, and two hours of didactic training in CBT a week. We have a yearly cohort of thirteen doctoral interns that routinely utilize residents for informal supervision. A defining emphasis of the program is extending proficiency in cognitive behavioral psychotherapy. We believe diversity strengthens our program and strongly encourage applicants from under-represented groups to apply.
