Baptist Behavioral Health, in affiliation with Baptist Medical Center—Jacksonville, is accepting applications for a one-year, full-time Clinical Health Psychology postdoctoral fellowship beginning in September 2023. Baptist Health is a not-for-profit health system comprised of five nationally accredited hospitals, with over 1,400 beds in the Northeast Florida region. Our Behavioral Health department provides the full continuum of mental health services across outpatient, inpatient, and crisis management settings. Our providers are integrated within primary care, neurology, emergency medicine, bariatric care, oncology and hematology, sleep medicine, maternal health, and more.
The program is designed to train future practitioners to provide quality psychological services in a diversified healthcare setting. We offer specialized training opportunities and rotations (e.g., neuropsychology, bariatric mental health, consultation liaison), depending on the fellow’s clinical interests. Trainees work with patients across the lifespan that experience a range of mental health concerns and diagnoses, including mood disorders, severe mental illness (SMI), neurocognitive impairments, eating disorders, and behavioral issues. The fellow is a member of our multidisciplinary team, which includes psychologists, psychiatrists, mental health counselors, psychiatric nurses and nurse practitioners, recreational therapists, art therapists, clinical social workers, psychometricians, crisis-management staff, and mental health technicians. The program also trains graduate psychology, counseling, and medical students.
The postdoctoral psychology fellow provides 2,000 hours of direct service under the supervision of licensed psychologists. Primary clinical activities include: individual and group therapy, assessment administration, consultation/liaison services, and co-supervision of graduate students. The education program also provides individual and group supervision, formal didactics, and a behavioral health Grand Rounds series.
