Eating Disorders Rotation Description
The Adult Eating Disorders Program within the Psychosocial Treatment Clinic in the Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences at Stanford University School of Medicine is accepting applications for a one-year postdoctoral fellowship position.
The Adult Eating Disorders rotation is housed within the Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences' larger Post-doctoral Fellowship Program. Our mission is to provide efficient, efficacious treatment for individuals with eating disorders while supporting clinician and trainee professional development and well-being. The Eating Disorder Fellow will partake in the responsibilities and educational opportunities of the general fellowship and receive specialty clinical training in eating disorders across the diagnostic spectrum for diverse clientele. Specifically, the fellow will receive advanced training and direct experience in eating disorders including: education, supervision, and practice of evidenced-based treatments for eating disorders delivered in a variety of modalities and formats including individual, group, family, and couples-based treatment, as desired; eating disorder assessment; consultation; mentorship; and multidisciplinary collaboration. The population served is adults, ranging in age from 18-75 years, who may present with a wide range of disordered eating concerns and co-occurring conditions. The fellow will also have access to one hour weekly individual supervision; one hour weekly multidisciplinary group supervision as part of case consultation; grand rounds; as well as eating disorder seminars and didactic training (both in-person and online). Although the position is primarily clinical, research opportunities may be available, including participation in research team meetings. Generally, the patient load will be 50% eating disorder cases (~10 cases) and 50% mood/anxiety disorder cases (actual percentages may vary depending upon individual interest areas).
Supervision
1 hour of weekly individual supervision is provided. Group supervision is also provided at a weekly 1 hour multidisciplinary eating disorder team case consultation meeting.
Other training/didactic activities
Grand rounds, eating disorder seminars and didactic training (in-person and online), and, as desired, research lab meetings.
Prior training necessary?
Qualified applicants will have a strong background in Clinical / Counseling Psychology and have completed their doctoral training and internship at APA-accredited programs by the start of the fellowship year. Preference will be given to applicants with prior clinical or research experience in eating disorders, although this is not required.
