Psychology Postdoctoral Training
Multidisciplinary Collaboration
We partner with the VA Ann Arbor Healthcare System (VAAAHS) to jointly offer a network of postdoctoral training programs.
Advanced Training Opportunities
The U-M Medical School Department of Psychiatry and the VA Ann Arbor Healthcare System (VAAAHS) collaborate to offer a comprehensive Network of Postdoctoral Training Programs in Psychology. Our network of postdoctoral training programs features two dual-site programs, Clinical Neuropsychology and Clinical Psychology, and two single-site programs, Clinical Child Psychology and Mental Health Treatment and Research (at SMITREC). The Clinical Neuropsychology and Clinical Child Psychology programs are also specialty accredited. The network is led by Psychology Training Committee Chair J. Todd Arnedt, PhD.
This partnership provides a rich, interdisciplinary environment with seminars, lectures, and collaboration opportunities across departments. Fellows gain diverse clinical experience in assessment, treatment, and consultation, with a focus on empirically-based methods.
Training includes mentorship in independent clinical research and didactics on professional development, the integration of science and practice, individual and cultural diversity, and ethics. The network follows the scientist-practitioner model and emphasizes core healthcare values such as beneficence, non-malfeasance, and public service.
Specialty Programs
Accreditation
The Clinical Psychology Consortium, Clinical Neuropsychology Consortium, and Clinical Child Psychology programs are accredited by the Commission on Accreditation of the American Psychological Association (APA).
The Clinical Psychology program is accredited as a 1-year program, and the Clinical Neuropsychology and Clinical Child Psychology programs are both accredited as 2-year Specialty Programs.
The SMITREC program is not accredited.
The three accredited programs are fully accredited through 2033. However, as a result of policy changes affecting VA Consortium programs, the Clinical Psychology and Clinical Neuropsychology Consortium programs are in the process of seeking independent accreditation for separate Michigan Medicine and VA Ann Arbor programs.
Questions related to the accreditation status of the programs in the Training Network should be directed to the Commission on Accreditation.
