St. Cloud Hospital/CentraCare is pleased to invite interested candidates to apply for a 12-month fellowship position in Integrated Behavioral Health.
St. Cloud Hospital provides family-centered care for patients of all ages. As the largest behavioral health service provider in the geographical area, our clinic receives a variety of referrals for patients of all ages with a wide range of presenting concerns. As part of a larger health organization, behavioral health providers also have the opportunity to work closely with medical specialists including pediatricians, family practice providers, psychiatrists, and rehabilitation therapists, among other providers. The Fellowship program is designed to provide clinical experiences necessary to support independent practice in clinical psychology. We aim to tailor the training experience to meet the individual training needs and interests of the Fellow. We offer a flexible rotation selection to provide for breadth of experiences, as well as specialization with populations of interests. Supervision plans are created to support a Fellow in their individual training needs, as well as ensuring that they meet all professional competencies needed for licensure requirements in the State of MN.
Fellows will receive specialized clinical training in primary care behavioral health (PCBH) or health psychology, working with patients with a wide variety of clinical presentations within a collaborative team based environment. Fellows will engage in integrated behavioral health services within a family medicine primary care clinic and have the opportunity to practice in the Heart & Vascular Center, a medical specialty clinic. In addition, they will have opportunities to do screenings and targeted assessments to support the medical teams (i.e., risk assessments, depression). In addition, the Fellow may have opportunities to do comprehensive psychological assessments within an internal medicine or pediatrics clinic.
As part of this Fellowship, Fellows will work in our Family Medicine Residency Training clinic. In this clinic, Fellows would have the opportunity to see patients and families across a life span (0-100+ years old) and support resident physicians in their training. The focus will be on immediate, flexible format (brief intervention), and close collaboration with the medical provider. The Fellow will see a wide variety of clinical presentations (chemical dependency, severe and persistent mental health, depression, anxiety, smoking cessation, behavior change related to medical conditions). Treatment modalities such as Motivational Interviewing (MI), Focused Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (fACT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Mindful Self-Compassion, Solution Focused, and Trauma care will be emphasized. Fellows will be responsible for up to 7 scheduled patient times a day in addition to warm hand offs and provider to provider consults to support the behavioral health needs of all patients of the clinic. They also may be involved in the education of family medicine residents about behavioral health issues. Fellows will be an integral part of a multidisciplinary team consisting of family medicine residents, community paramedic, and patient advocates. The Fellows will have an opportunity to be fully immersed in a PCBH role in a clinic that is fast paced and diverse.
As part of our Integrated Behavioral Health Fellowship, Fellows can choose two additional rotations to round out their training year. Fellows may choose to work with adult cardiovascular patients (ages 18+) in our CentraCare Heart & Vascular Center, or with a young population (birth to 18) in our Pediatrics clinic. There are also opportunities to do psychological assessments in our Internal Medicine clinic and Pediatrics.
A rotation in our CentraCare Heart and Vascular Cener could include Fellows having the opportunity to 1) lead patient education sessions in cardiac rehab (focused on stress management, goal setting and behavioral change, relationship health, and sleep health), 2) complete brief screenings for mood and SI as a part of the cardiac rehab orientation process, and 3) participate in multidisciplinary rounds focused on the care of Heart Failure patients. Fellows may also have the opportunity to complete warm hand offs and brief interventions in both the inpatient and ambulatory setting, and to collaborate with multidisciplinary teams (including physicians, APPs, nurses, dieticians, clinical pharmacists, and exercise physiologists) on the care of cardiac patients.
Fellows will have the opportunity to work with different supervisors to obtain diverse clinical skills while obtaining hours necessary for licensure, and will participate in individual supervision, group supervision/consultation, and participate in specialized consultation groups (I.e., assessment, multi-cultural, trauma). Fellows will have the opportunity to participate in monthly didactics on a wide range of topics as well as our Cultural Humility didactic series, addressing issues of diversity, equity, and inclusion. Additional educational opportunities are also provided through the hospital/clinic and our family medicine residency program. There is an expectation for preparation of one professional presentation (oral or written) to the health care community during the year.
CentraCare has made a commitment to diversity in its workforce. All individuals including, but not limited to, individuals with disabilities, are encouraged to apply. CentraCare is an EEO/AA employer.
