APPLICATION AND SELECTION PROCEDURES
All applicants to the Psychology Postdoctoral Fellowship Program at VA Long Beach Healthcare System must have received a doctorate from an APA (American Psychological Association) or CPA (Canadian Psychological Association) accredited graduate program in Clinical, Counseling, or Combined Psychology or PCSAS (Psychological Clinical Science Accreditation System) accredited Clinical Science program. Persons with a doctorate in another area of psychology who meet the APA or CPA criteria for re-specialization training in Clinical, Counseling, or Combined Psychology are also eligible. The applicant is also expected to have completed an internship program accredited by APA or CPA or have completed a VA-sponsored internship. Additionally, certification of U.S. citizenship and drug screening are required for all VA Postdoctoral Fellows. The federal government requires that male applicants to VA positions born after 1959 sign a Pre-Appointment Certification Statement for Selective Service Registration before they are employed. It is not necessary to submit this form with the application, but if you are selected for this fellowship and fit the above criteria, you will have to sign it. All Fellows will have to complete a Certification of Citizenship in the U.S. prior to beginning the fellowship. Applications from non-citizens will not be considered. The VA conducts drug screening exams on randomly selected trainees and employees. Our training programs are committed to creating a supportive learning environment for individuals of diverse backgrounds, and as a federal agency, we abide by the U.S. Government Equal Employment Opportunity (EEO) and Reasonable Accommodation policies. The Psychology Postdoctoral Fellowship Program follows a policy of selecting the most qualified candidates and is an Equal Opportunity Employer. Our commitment to diversity includes attempting to ensure an appropriate representation of individuals along many dimensions, including (but not limited to) gender, sexual orientation, age, ethnic/racial minorities, and persons with disabilities.
