Pediatric Psychology Fellowship Program

Training Program

 

The UAMS Pediatric Psychology Postdoctoral Fellowship is a multi-site program consisting of three (3; 2 in Little Rock and 1 in Springdale) full-time, 12-month positions, with the Fellowship providing 2000 hours of supervised training (which meets APPIC standards and Arkansas Psychology Board licensure requirements for postdoctoral training hours).  The fellowship begins on September 1st each year. An alternative start date may be arranged with advance notice and agreement from both the training directors and the post-doctoral fellow in cases of unforeseen circumstances. Failure to provide advance notice may result in the loss of the fellowship.

The Fellowship program is part of a comprehensive interdisciplinary training effort within the Department of Pediatrics at UAMS, and involves other trainees such as medical fellows, residents, students, social work interns, and speech/language pathology interns. In addition, psychologists are embedded in other sections within the Department of Pediatrics (i.e., Children at Risk, Adolescent Medicine, Behavioral Pediatrics, Center for Applied Research and Evaluation). The Fellowship is under the direction of the Section of Pediatric Psychology, which consists of 18 doctoral-level psychologists, 3 postdoctoral fellows, 3 master’s-level psychological examiners, 2 neuropsychological technicians and graduate level-practicum students.

The Little Rock rotations are based on the Arkansas Children’s Hospital (ACH) campus and include outpatient clinics, inpatient consultation and UAMS Dennis Developmental Center (DDC). Fellows housed in Springdale, Arkansas are primarily located at the Schmieding Developmental Center (SDC). Please see the SDC descriptions below for rotation and training details with focuses on team-based evaluations, autism and developmental evaluations Please see the ACH and DDC descriptions below for specific rotation and training details.
