Psychology Training Programs
The Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences’ psychology training programs are committed to providing a comprehensive educational experience. We afford our trainees the opportunity to pursue a broad-based internship that encompasses clinical service, training, supervision and research, as well as a highly specialized postdoctoral program that hones in on one of five specializations within health service psychology.
Psychology Internship
Psychology interns are afforded opportunities to expand their professional identities to include mental health advocacy within the hospital network, in the surrounding community and beyond, as well as community service (e.g. presenting to local groups and associations via our Community Speakers Bureau, a joint effort of the Departments of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences and Pediatrics in collaboration with multiple Montefiore Einstein partners, including our Office of Community and Population Health).
Postdoctoral Fellowship Residency Programs
The Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences has numerous Postdoctoral Fellowship opportunities. These include specializations in addiction psychology, eating disorders, child and adolescent psychology, psychosomatic medicine, trauma, reproductive psychology, and neuropsychology. Across all specializations, the Postdoctoral Residency Program is committed to providing a comprehensive training experience that facilitates each postdoctoral fellow's growth and development as an independent, early-career professional psychologist. As such, a primary goal of the Postdoctoral Fellowship Program is to assist each postdoctoral fellow in strengthening, consolidating, and integrating their clinical and professional skills into their professional identity so that they will be able to function autonomously by the end of their training year(s).
