Fellowship Opportunities At St. Louis Behavioral Medicine Institute
Become a specialist early in your career! St. Louis Behavioral Medicine Institute has several fellowships available each year for graduates of master's and doctoral programs in mental health fields such as social work and professional counseling. The goal of the fellowship is to teach psychology/mental health fellows to work within the multiple disciplines, methods, and treatments of physical diseases and behavior disorders. Our objectives for the fellows are as follows:
- To learn how to evaluate patients and form coherent treatment plans.
- To appreciate issues related to the current healthcare environment and to relate effectively with other healthcare professionals.
- To provide effective individual and group therapy to clients.
- To attain proficiency in at least one area of sub-specialization (e.g., anxiety disorders, dialectical behavior therapy, or eating disorders, etc.)
Program Description
The Eating Disorders Program at SLBMI is a specialized eating disorder treatment program that utilizes evidence-based therapies. It offers state-of-the-art, comprehensive treatment including cognitive and behavioral therapies and other adjunctive interventions. Training within both Adolescent and Adult IOPs are offered, and Fellows will also have the opportunity to treat those seeking individual outpatient therapy. Dr. Mishell Hashmi directs the program.
Supervised Clinical Experience
Each fellow receives weekly, face-to-face supervision. In addition, fellows may also receive peer supervision from other licensed staff clinicians. Supervision may include the use of case notes and other supporting materials. Supervisors are responsible for providing fellows with written and verbal feedback regarding their performance and progress. Informal verbal feedback is provided on an ongoing basis.
Trainings Meetings and Seminars
Throughout the year, fellows attend a weekly, one-hour-seminar series with topics covering theoretical and therapeutic issues related to the fellow's clinical experience. Topic examples from previous years include: A Trans-Diagnostic Treatment Model for OCD & Anxiety-Related Disorders, Developing Treatment Plans, DBT Skills Training, Cognitive Behavioral Treatments for Insomnia, Gestalt Therapy: Implementing Theory into Practice, Parent-Child Interaction Therapy, Radically Open DBT. The seminar sessions are taught by the faculty and staff of the Institute, as well as guest speakers. To complement supervision and the seminar series, fellows are required to read a variety of materials from a reading list (e.g., treatment manuals, book chapters, and research articles). These readings are designed to enhance skill-building and to complement the other training experiences.
Qualifications
Applicants for our Fellowship positions must have completed all requirements for either a Doctoral Degree in psychology or related field (and must have received the Doctoral Degree from an APA accredited program or from a regionally accredited institution of higher education, including an APA accredited internship or an internship meeting APPIC standards) OR will have completed all requirements for a master's degree in a mental health field (e.g. social work, professional counseling).
