Each one-year, full-time clinical post-doctoral psychology position provides focused training experiences in evidence-based psychosocial treatments and rehabilitation approaches for serious mental illness (SMI). The fellowship is designed to help trainees develop an understanding of, and facility with, assisting patients and families to navigate the public and community system of psychiatric care in Massachusetts.
