Rotation options: 

The fellows participate in a variety of didactic activities (e.g., Pediatric Psychology Didactics Series, Diversity, Equity, Inclusion Seminar and Professional Development Seminar). Additionally, fellows are required to complete a small research project under the mentorship of our faculty. Research programs are ongoing and are embedded within many of the patient populations served by Psychology in the hospital.  

Fellows will receive a salary of at least $64,440, as well as a benefit package. For a full description of our program including stipend and benefits, please refer to our website Akron Children's Hospital Pediatric Psychology Fellowship.
