in-person participation. *Note: Second-year Fellows are required to attend bimonthly group check-ins but attendance at other repeat-topics is optional.
Diversity Seminar (bimonthly): This seminar includes consultation, didactic presentations, readings, and case presentations covering a wide range of diversity issues.
Evidence-Based Practice (EBP) Seminar (in conjunction with psychology interns): Presentations cover didactics on a wide range of EBPs offered throughout the VA as well as trainee case presentations demonstrating application of these EBPs in various clinical settings. *Note: Fellows are encouraged to attend EBP seminar topics which they have limited/minimal experience with.
Fellowship Project
*Note: Neuropsychology and Rehabilitation Psychology Fellows are required to complete one fellowship project during their two-year residency. The Fellowship Project is optional for all other postdoctoral fellows, and cannot be guaranteed. If interested in completing a project, Fellows will need to find a project advisor who is available/able to develop and conduct the project accordingly. The goal is for the Fellow to study or to develop some component of services that will be of utility to others in the field. This project may have a research focus (e.g., program utilization or effectiveness), an educational objective (e.g., training other staff, patients or their family members; developing a Contiuning Education (CE) module), a program development aim (e.g., new peer-led service, or community re-integration program), or service provision goal (e.g., new treatment modality, or application of treatment to an under-served population.). Fellows are strongly encouraged to submit an abstract of their research for presenation at a scietnific conference by the end of their fellowship. Other creative ideas are welcome. All projects should have some form of measurable evaluation of their effectiveness and impact. Fellows who complete a Fellowship Project will present the details and results at the end of fellowship.
