Our Postdoctoral Fellowship Program seeks energetic, personable, and well-qualified applicants with strong skills in the areas of assessment, individual therapy, group therapy, and consultation. We welcome and encourage multicultural, LGBTQ+ and in other ways diverse individuals to apply.
A strong desire and evident dedication to treating veterans who have experienced trauma is a must. Interest and experience in the area of PTSD treatment should be evident in past training and/or experience. Applicants must be able to take initiative and function with good judgment, flexibility, and maturity.
For post-doc applications, in order to increase diversity and minimize costs to applicants, we have decided not to use APPA CAS. Please email our Interim Psychology Training Director with all required application material, at michelle.melton@va.gov.
