FAQ

On this page, you will find answers to many of the most commonly asked questions about this post-doctoral fellowship program.

• Do you offer part-time fellow positions?

  No. All fellowship positions are full time.

• Is there any flexibility in the start date of a fellowship?

  Barring unusual circumstances, there is not flexibility in the start date of the fellowship.

• You indicate that I must have a “license” to practice in the state of Michigan. What does that entail?

  All postdoctoral fellows must possess a Michigan license to practice psychology prior to beginning fellowship. This could be either a Master’s Educational Limited License (TLLP) or a Doctoral Educational Limited License. After a PhD or PsyD degree is officially granted by a university, fellows must obtain a Doctoral Educational Limited License. More information can be found here.

• What if I have never worked in a medical setting or have minimal experience with children and adolescents?

  Our fellowship is designed to be a final, capstone experience in your preparation for advanced pediatric clinical health psychology practice. As such, fellows with prior child and adolescent experience, health psychology-related presenting issues, and experience in medical settings are preferred.

• How many hours are required to complete the fellowship program?

  Each fellow is expected to work 50 hours per week and complete 2,000 training hours during the one-year (12-month) fellowship program.
