Overview of Program

The focus of this fellowship/residency is to provide individuals with supervised clinical practice opportunities to refine clinical skills in preparation for functioning as an independent practitioner in a university mental health setting. Fellows/Residents experience a supportive environment that encourages greater professional autonomy balanced with support and numerous opportunities for consultation with seasoned senior staff throughout the year. Clinical Fellows/Residents are valued as contributing colleagues within a broader multidisciplinary mental health training program and human service agency housed within a university community.

The Clinical Fellowship/Residency program at CCS is a distinct program in our comprehensive, multidisciplinary training program. The primary role of the Clinical Fellow/Resident is to provide clinical services utilizing the experiences gleaned from completion of an internship program or other relevant experience. A “learning by doing” philosophy of training is the foundation of the Clinical Fellow/Resident program, in part, based on the assumption that a more structured/didactic approach to training was provided in prior training experiences. Access to formal training activities, including a weekly group supervision/case conference, assists individuals with the integration and augmentation of former training and clinical practice experiences. Clinical Fellows/Residents maintain a flexible work schedule that includes working five days a week with two of these days including evening hours. The Clinical Fellowship/Residency is a multidisciplinary training program that may include representatives from psychology, counseling and social work fields.
