Fellows are valued members of the Department of Psychology as well as the medical teams with whom they work.

Our department serves inpatient and outpatient services to a diverse population of families from urban and rural settings, range of SES, range of ethnic diversity, ages (newborn-young adult), referral concern, and disease presentation. There are 3 locations where psychology provides care to patients and families (SLCH Main Hospital, SLCH Specialty Care Center West County, and SLCH Specialty Care Center South County).
