North Florida/South Georgia Veterans Health System

North Florida/South Georgia Veterans Health System
Postdoctoral Psychology Fellowship Position
Application Deadline and Procedure: We are accepting applications for
our Clinical Psychology Fellowship with an emphasis in Geropsychology.
We will continue to accept applications until the position is filled.
Start date is flexible and dependent upon internship completion date.
Training Setting: A large, busy, full-service Veterans Affairs Medical
Center with multiple specialized programs including Women's Clinic, TBI
Program, GRECC, Substance Abuse, Primary Care, and PCT Team. We are
affiliated with the University of Florida Department of Health and
Clinical Psychology and Shands Teaching Hospital.
Training Model and Philosophy: The overall mission of the Psychology
Postdoctoral Training Program at the NF/SGVHS is to prepare Fellows to
practice autonomously as clinical psychologists in a variety of clinical
and academic settings and to provide expertise in the areas of substance
abuse treatment, post traumatic stress, or geriatrics. The postdoctoral
program is designed to develop advanced practice competencies and
expertise based upon sound scholarly and professional practice
foundations. The training integrates clinical, scientific, and ethical
knowledge in the development of attitudes and skills basic to clinical
psychology. Therefore the philosophy of training offered by the NF/SGVHS
is best described as a "practitioner-scholar" model. The training
experiences have a strong clinical focus. However, knowledge and use of
evidenced based interventions are expected and encouraged in all aspects
of the program.
Training staff: 40 licensed doctoral staff psychologists representing
diverse theoretical orientations, clinical specialties, and interests,
typically having academic appointments at the University of Florida.
The staff is highly committed to its training programs and trainees.
The Community: The North Florida/South Georgia Veteran's Health System
is situated among the gentle hills of North Central Florida in a scenic,
tree-canopied community of 100,000 residents. Located midway between the
Atlantic Ocean and the Gulf of Mexico, Gainesville has a relatively mild
climate suitable for year-round enjoyment of sports and its varied lakes
and recreation facilities. Interestingly, Gainesville has more bicycle
paths than any other city in the United States. Gainesville is serviced
by air, bus, and train lines. Gulf- and Atlantic-coast attractions are
within a two-hour drive of the medical center. These include Orlando
attractions, such as Disney World, Universal Studios, and Sea World.
Also nearby are Busch Gardens and Cypress Gardens. The larger
metropolitan areas of Tampa, St. Petersburg, Orlando, and Jacksonville
are equally accessible.
Culturally, Gainesville is enhanced by the University of Florida and the
Center for the Performing Arts. Gainesville also supports a nationally
known art festival, a community band, a civic chorus, the University
symphony, and dance groups. The Florida Museum of Natural History, the
Samuel P. Harn Museum of Art, and a number of excellent theater groups
which includes the Hippodrome State Theater provide considerable
diversity.
Eligibility Requirements: Applicants must be US citizens and must have
completed all requirements of an APA-accredited doctoral program in
clinical or counseling psychology, including an APA-accredited
internship, prior to the fellowship start date. Applicants are required
to have a strong interest in geriatrics with a long-term goal to provide
service and contribute to these areas in psychology.
Stipend, Benefits, and Application Information: The stipend for the
program is $41,079 for the year, paid biweekly. Benefits include 13
vacation days, 13 sick days, 10 federal holidays, up to 10 days of
approved educational or professional leave, and health insurance.
Malpractice coverage is provided under the Federal Tort Claims Act.
Applications and Inquiries should be directed to:
