The Department of Psychiatry and Psychology, Mayo Clinic Rochester, is accepting applications for our APA-Accredited two-year specialty practice programs. Applicants must come from APA- or CPA-accredited graduate programs and internships and apply to one of our three programs. Fellowship positions are available for August 1, 2027.  Start dates are flexible. The program’s aim is for fellows to achieve advanced competencies in their respective areas of specialty (clinical child psychology, clinical health psychology, clinical neuropsychology) to prepare them for employment in academic health centers and board certification in professional psychology. The Medical Psychology Fellow's experience in each specialty practice area combines clinical, educational, and research activities, with at least 50% time in clinical activities.  Fellows select research mentors and have 30% protected research time. Educational opportunities are tailored and include weekly departmental grand rounds, case conferences, journal club, and didactic seminars.  Fellows also receive funding for attendance and/or presenting at professional conferences.

Clinical Child/Pediatric Psychology: The Clinical Child/Pediatric Psychology Program is well suited to learners seeking comprehensive and personalized training that aims to prepare them for the highest level of certification in the specialty of clinical child/pediatric psychology and for a trajectory of leadership in academic medical center settings. Fellows work with their specialty director, primary clinical supervisor, and primary research supervisor to develop their overarching training plan. Fellows typically engage in activities across clinical child and pediatric psychology, with integration of complex mental health and medical concerns frequently present in the practice. As fellows develop broad competencies in the clinical child/pediatric psychology specialty, they develop depth of experience within an area of interest (e.g., intensive group-based treatments, anxiety disorders, mood disorders, chronic pain and autonomic dysfunction, inpatient consultation/liaison, weight management) through targeted selection of clinical, research, and other professional activities.  The application deadline is December 9, 2026, for Clinical Child Psychology. 

Clinical Health Psychology: The Clinical Health Psychology Fellowship provides training in clinical, research, and educational activities to achieve advanced competencies in clinical health psychology to prepare them for employment in academic health centers and pursuit of board certification.  Fellows will have >50% of supervised clinical service delivery time (e.g., assessment, intervention, consultation). Fellows choose one of the following specialty areas for a major rotation: weight management and bariatric surgery, pain rehabilitation, primary care, onco-psychology, family medicine residency, or transgender & intersex specialty care. The major rotation focus will comprise 80% of the supervised practice hours.  Optional minor rotations provide additional breadth (<20% time).  Rotation schedules are based upon the fellow’s interests and training goals. The application deadline is December 13, 2026 for Clinical Health Psychology.

Clinical Neuropsychology (separate Adult and Pediatric Specialty Tracks): The Mayo Clinic Neuropsychology Specialty Program provides fellows with a depth and breadth of assessment, educational, consultative, intervention, administrative and research experiences that prepares fellows for board certification in Clinical Neuropsychology by the American Board of Clinical Neuropsychology.  We adhere to guidelines proposed by the Joint Task Force of Division 40 of the APA and the Houston Conference on Specialty Education and Training in Clinical Psychology.  We offer a Major Area of Study in Clinical Neuropsychology. The recommended application deadline is December 1, 2026 for the adult track and December 4 for the pediatric track to guarantee full review of application materials.
