Children's National Hospital Child Clinical Fellowship - Anxiety Disorders

20 Oct 2023    

The Anxiety Disorders Program postdoctoral fellowship provides advanced clinical training in child psychology with an emphasis on anxiety. Clinical work during this 1-year fellowship primarily involves diagnostic evaluations and interventions for a wide range of anxiety presentations such as (but not limited to) generalized anxiety, social anxiety, OCD, selective mutism, PANS/PANDAS, specific phobia, panic disorder, and medically-related anxiety. CBT and CBT-ERP are the main modalities with use of other empirically-supported treatments as needed. Our multidisciplinary clinic offers outpatient services (individual and group treatments) to a diverse population in the Washington, DC, Maryland and Virginia areas. The postdoctoral fellow will be able to participate in team meetings and collaborate with our psychiatry counterparts in clinical care and research endeavors (if interested). Fellows also have opportunities to gain clinical and/or research exposure in other areas of general child clinical or pediatric psychology via mini-rotations throughout the training year. Interested fellows can provide umbrella supervision to psychology externs. Didactics are an important component of the fellowship program and will focus on topics related to anxiety, general clinical child psychology and professional development through participation in the Anxiety Disorders Program team meetings, Behavioral Health Grand Rounds (BHGR) and Fellow Seminar Series. The position will primarily be at the Takoma Theatre location in Washington, DC with potential opportunities to go to other locations based on mini-rotations. The position will include telemedicine services. Salary is commensurate with NIH guidelines and funding is provided for professional development activities (e.g., conference travel, clinical workshops, etc.). Candidates with prior clinical experience in pediatric anxiety are encouraged to apply. Anticipated start date in August 2024 (though may be negotiable).

APPLICATION REQUIREMENTS:

• Completed APA-accredited internship

• Completed all requirements for their PhD or PsyD prior to beginning the position

• Clinical experience with pediatric anxiety

• Obtain Psychology Associate License in DC and MD (please note, you will need to apply prior to fellowship start and the DC board considers date of degree conferment as completion date versus when degree requirements may have been completed)
