We will be following the new basic common hold date guidelines : 

Basic Common Hold Date Principles

  • Programs are free to make offers whenever they choose, following interview completion.
  • Applicants can hold only their single top-ranked offer until the CHD, 2/26/2024.  Applicants should promptly notify all programs that are lower ranking than their held program that they are withdrawing from the selection process at those sites.
  • Applicants can accept a program offer at any time, and upon acceptance, should promptly notify all other programs with which they have interviewed that they are withdrawing from the selection process at those sites.   
  • If an applicant declines an offer, the program may then immediately extend the offer to their next top-ranked applicant.
  • Programs and applicants act in accordance with the understanding that offers made by programs and held by applicants are binding and cannot be retracted.
  • Clinical neuropsychology programs are not expected to follow these guidelines. Programs that are predominantly research focused are encouraged to follow these guidelines to the extent possible.

 

 

Good luck during your interview process!

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. This consortium offers training at Union City and San Leandro in four full-time positions:  Adult teams in San Leandro and Union City each have one position; the Child/Family teams in San Leandro and Union City each have one position. All positions are located within the Department of Mental Health at Kaiser Permanente and are part of the larger regional network of consortium training programs within Kaiser.

The South East Bay Consortium postdoctoral residency program (SEBC) in advanced training achieved through supervision, evaluation and didactic seminars. One half of the residents’ time is spent providing direct services to clientele through individual and group therapy (family thearpy on child team) and conducting psychological assessments. In addition to the required two hours of individual supervision weekly by a licensed psychologist, residents also participate in at least two additional hours of individual and/or group supervision, case conferences, team meetings, and weekly seminars. Residents are encouraged to attend the quarterly training seminars for the general staff. Completing the Resident Program Survey twice a year is a requirement of completing the program.

In addition to weekly consortium seminars, and individual and group supervision at their training sites, residents are expected to attend half-day regional seminars. The first regional seminar of the training year usually focuses on Ethics and the Law. This ensures all postdoctoral residents have a sound working knowledge of California’s professional code of conduct.  Other topics of regional seminars have included: Neuropsychology, Diversity & Inclusion and Positive Psychology. These seminars are developed by the Northern California Regional Training Director.
