Baptist Behavioral Health, in affiliation with Baptist Medical Center and Wolfson Children’s Hospital Jacksonville, offers a comprehensive postdoctoral fellowship that integrates advanced training in Clinical Neuropsychology. As part of the Baptist Health System, a not-for-profit system with five nationally accredited hospitals and over 1,400 beds in Northeast Florida, fellows train within a multidisciplinary environment that provides a full continuum of mental health services across outpatient, inpatient, and crisis settings. Providers are embedded in diverse medical specialties, including neurology, rehabilitation, and oncology, ensuring exposure to complex cases across the lifespan.
The fellowship is designed to prepare psychologists for independent clinical practice through intensive training in assessment, diagnosis, consultation, and intervention for neuropsychiatric and neurodevelopmental conditions. The fellowship is primarily focused in pediatrics, with opportunities for adult populations based upon trainee interest and experience. Fellows gain expertise in standardized neuropsychological testing, Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) diagnostic evaluations, and evidence-based interventions for disorders such as traumatic brain injury, medical conditions affecting the Central Nervous System (CNS), and neurodevelopmental disorders including Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), ASD and developmental delays, as well as co-occurring behavioral health concerns. Training emphasizes collaboration with multidisciplinary teams and includes structured rotations, didactic seminars, and supervised clinical experiences in both inpatient and outpatient settings.
Applicants must have completed an APA-accredited doctoral program in clinical, counseling, or school psychology, successfully defended their dissertation, and finished an APA-accredited internship prior to starting the fellowship. Preference is given to candidates with prior experience in hospital or medical settings, specialized training in neuropsychology, and testing experience with pediatric populations. This program offers a unique opportunity to develop advanced clinical skills while working within an integrated healthcare system committed to excellence in patient care.
