Postdoctoral Program Admissions
Briefly describe in narrative form important information to assist potential applicants in assessing their likely fit with your program. This description must be consistent with the program’s policies on intern selection and practicum and academic preparation requirements |
The Clinical Psychology Fellowship at Stanford serves as the culmination of training in psychology and is guided by the scientist-practitioner model. Residents are offered diverse clinical experiences in assessment and treatment utilizing evidence-based treatments, rich didactics based on current empirical literature, opportunities for scholarly inquiry, and supervision by Stanford faculty. The mission of the Fellowship Program is to train highly skilled, ethical psychologists who contribute to the field of psychology through clinical work, research and/or education. Our postdoctoral fellowship aims to provide both breadth and depth of training. All postdoctoral fellows choose one or more area(s) of specialization (e.g., evidence-based treatment of mood and anxiety disorders, DBT, eating disorders) and they also receive training in a wide variety of clinical presentations. Patients treated at Stanford Health Care come from ethnically diverse backgrounds, and there is also considerable diversity in terms of age, SES, sexual orientation, immigrant-status, and first language among our patient population. In addition to top-quality training, we offer a generous annual stipend, health benefits, and leave policy, as well as many additional benefits that come with being a member of the Stanford community. Our postdoctoral fellowship is a good fit for students who have trained in scientist-practitioner and clinical scientist graduate programs, as well as those from practitioner scholar programs where there was a strong emphasis on evidence-based treatment. Candidates with practicum and internship training experience in the specialty area(s) to which they are applying are a particularly good fit. |

This program is designed to assist those who cannot reasonably resolve their financial difficulty through fellowships or loans. Emergency Grant-in-Aid awards are grants that reimburse actual expenses. These awards are not a loan, and do not need to be repaid. Emergency Grant-in-Aid awards are taxable.
