Program Description

Franciscan St James Health offers doctoral training in Behavioral Health with a focus on consultation services. These training opportunities occur at the Olympia Fields hospital campus and include inpatient clinical work. Training is conducted on all medical/surgical, telemetry, intensive care/cardiac care, rehabilitation, pediatric, maternity/child, and emergency units/departments. The Behavioral Health Department is an integral part of the oncology and cardiology teams. Brief therapy experiences are also available with these inpatient populations. In addition, St. James has both a Comprehensive Cancer Institute, and Heart and Vascular Institute that provide additional behavioral health training, including outpatient treatment opportunities and some group work. As Franciscan St. James is a teaching hospital for osteopathic physicians, Behavioral Health Residents have the opportunity to interact with medical students, interns, residents, fellows, and attending physicians on a regular basis. Our interns are expected to participate in daily medical rounds with medical interns/residents in the above units. Grand Rounds and other hospital-based programs will also be an integral part of the Resident's behavioral health education. Given the medical basis of the program, there is a significant amount of psychopharmacology involved in consultations. Specific training opportunities in assessment, including neuropsychology, are not a specific focus of this training program. Two full-time clinical psychologists will be available to provide supervision. The Chief Psychologist also requires a weekly one-hour group supervision meeting. Additionally, weekly peer supervision time is encouraged.
