Baptist Behavioral Health, in affiliation with Baptist Medical Center and Wolfson Children's Hospital, is accepting applications for a one-year, full-time Clinical Health Psychology postdoctoral fellowship. 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, 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). 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 Clinical Health Psychology Postdoctoral Fellowship is designed for individuals who have successfully completed their internship, defended their dissertation, and earned a doctoral degree in clinical or counseling psychology from an APA-accredited program (conferred prior to the start of training). It is preferred that applicants be U.S. citizens who have completed an APA-accredited internship program. We encourage applications from those that have completed at least one practicum/internship year in a medical setting; however, relevant professional experience will also be considered.
