Invites Applications for a New APA Primary Care Fellowship
As part of APA’s strategic plan, a Primary Care Fellowship opportunity is now available to develop an overall framework and strategy to promote the engagement of psychologists in providing integrated mental and behavioral health services in primary care settings, with attention to the potential range in employment status, services rendered, work settings, and funding streams. The Primary Care Fellow will apply knowledge gained from the research literature, professional networking, and program site visits to identify effective service delivery models for psychologists in integrated health care.
This position will involve outreach to physician specialty associations, interdisciplinary primary care organizations, and disease-specific groups to enhance collaboration and partnerships on programmatic and policy initiatives related to integrated health care. The Fellow will serve as a point of contact for APA and other organizations on matters related to integrated health care and assist in the coordination of APA initiatives in this area. The Fellow will also contribute to the development of resource materials, member surveys of psychologist practitioners, and a database of psychologists working in integrated care. The Fellow will be administratively housed in APA’s Executive Office in Washington, D.C., and will work closely with senior staff in APA’s Education, Practice, Public Interest, and Science Directorates (including their government relations offices), and with a resource/consultation group of APA member experts.
