The basis of the UCC postdoctoral training program is an apprenticeship model that promotes the independent practice of the fellow to competently perform in positions in which advanced level psychologists function. To this end the postdoctoral fellowship is tailor-made to add to competencies already established by rounding out training (i.e., increasing one's depth and breadth of brief treatment) and develop one's level of teaching, supervising, and administrative work to a level commensurate with that of an already established psychologist.
In consultation with the Postdoctoral Coordinator, Director of Training and other supervisory faculty, fellows select training experiences that add to their overall level of competence (i.e., advanced learning of time-limited treatment, increased competence as a supervisor/teacher etc.). Fellows are expected to teach a year long Clinical Seminar, to supervise one to two graduate students per week and perform administrative functions typical of staff psychologists in counseling centers.
