Program Description

This is a 2-year APA-accredited training program in Clinical Child Psychology. 

The training of our fellows is based on the scientist-practitioner model. We hope to prepare psychologists for academic careers or positions of leadership in clinical and educational settings. The core curriculum exposes fellows to cutting edge topics in psychology and health care, and enhances their understanding of medical/legal issues, ethical dilemmas, career development, EPPP, grant writing skills, sensitivity to cultural diversity and eventual ABPP Board Certification.

The Clinical Child Psychology specialty program emphasizes the developmental and social contexts of child psychopathology, and the use of empirically validated assessments and interventions. Fellows gain expertise in diagnosis, assessment, and treatment of children with a wide range of psychological difficulties. They also participate in clinical research and prepare to function as independent, programmatic researchers. Opportunities are available to pursue developmental psychopathology and innovative intervention research in the following areas: community dissemination and implementation science; youth suicide risk; childhood anxiety; eating disorders; and perinatal, infant and early childhood mental health. Availability of each of these tracks varies by year. Please email the training director at amfish@med.umich.edu for specific information about programs recruiting for the upcoming training year.
