Postdoctoral Residency in Professional Psychology

Description: VA Maine offers three different types of postdoctoral fellowships. Two are two-year neuropsychology fellowships. Two are clinical psychology fellowships specializing in rural mental health/telehealth. Those four positions are based in our Lewiston/Auburn Community Based Outpatient Clinic (CBOC). The other four fellows are based in Augusta at the main VA Maine facility; these four each choose two six month training rotations. Those rotations will include our two PTSD clinics (either PCT and PE based or ACT based); Integrated Primary Care, the Women Veterans Clinic, the ACT for Pain Clinic, the Transdiagnostic Clinic, and our newest offering, the Geropsychology rotation.

Submission Instructions

Thank you for your interest in the VA Maine Healthcare System. This year, APPIC is again offering electronic submission of postdoctoral applications (APPIC Psychology Postdoctoral Application). We are taking part in this, but since it is still relatively new and requires a fee from applicants, we will not restrict ourselves to applications filed electronically. If you decide to file hard copy the way it has always been done, we will still consider your application. Since at least some applicants will probably apply by email or snail mail, we include a list of the required documents below: • VA Maine Healthcare System Postdoctoral Application Form (included at the end of this brochure) • Letter of interest outlining your postdoctoral fellowship and career goals • Current curriculum vita • Official transcript verifying your doctoral degree (or verification of eligibility and readiness from your doctoral Training Director that you are on track to complete your doctorate no later than August 31.) • Certificate of internship copy (or verification of eligibility and readiness from your internship Training Director that you are on track to complete internship no later than August 31.) • Official graduate transcripts (from all programs that you have attended) (Photocopies are acceptable for initial review.) • Three letters of recommendation (from faculty and/or clinical supervisors) • A properly de-identified clinical work product, such as an evaluation write-up. • A clear indication concerning to which postdoctoral position(s) you are applying; please specify whether you are applying to the clinical postdoctoral residencies at Togus, the rural/telehealth residencies at the Lewiston CBOC, or the two year neuropsychology residency also at Lewiston.
