Program Description

The South East Bay Consortium is an APA-accredited* and APPIC-member psychology postdoctoral residency program that is well-integrated into the Kaiser Permanente health care system.  Residents placed in the Department of Mental Health are required to complete 40 hours per week over a 12-month period. 

 

South East Bay Consortium is a comprehensive post doctoral training program that is well integrated into the Kaiser Permanente health care system. Based on the selected track, Residents are placed in Fremont or San Leandro based where cross collaboration and training is provided. Clinical opportunities are available on the Adult Team and Child and Family Teams with specialized rotations in Intensive Outpatient Services, Treatment Track in Depression and PTSD as well as completing ADHD and ASD screenings/assessment, assisting with Eating Disorder cases, and providing other evidence-based psychotherapy, groups and classes.  The Postdoctoral Resident will utilize evidence-based interventions within a feedback informed care model with the use of outcome monitoring at each session. Training in evidence-based group treatment will consist of co-facilitating groups under the supervision of licensed therapists. Training in evidence-based individual treatment will consist of providing individual therapy in a focused-therapy model, and will include feedback-informed care, CBT, DBT, and ACT interventions.  

Our training philosophy is to foster clinical competence and professional identity through the mastery of basic and specialized skills. Emphasis is placed on the role of the psychologist in a multi-disciplinary medical center. The residency consists of three components: 1) Regular exposure through active participation to all facets of outpatient services; 2) Professional guidance through sessions of formal supervision (two hours of individual supervision with licensed psychologists and two hours of group supervision); and 3) Regularly scheduled local and regional training seminars.

One half of the residents' time is spent providing direct services to Kaiser members through individual, group and family therapy. Over the training year residents are expected to complete conduct psychological assessment and to complete a program evaluation project. Departments of Psychiatry at each site provide mental health to Kaiser members in the form of evaluation, psychotherapy, psychoeducational programs and intensive outpatient treatment. In addition, completing the Resident Program Survey twice a year is a requirement of completing the program.
