California Pacific Medical Center
Health Psychology Fellowship
The 12-month CPMC Health Psychology Fellowship offers five positions at California Pacific Medical Center, where fellows provide psychological services to patients and families coping with medical illness.
Integrated Health Psychology Training
The CPMC Post-Doctoral Fellowship in Clinical Health Psychology provides advanced training to fulfill California licensure requirements. As an Association of Psychology Postdoctoral and Internship Centers (APPIC) member, we equip fellows with the specialized skills needed to serve as integral members of interdisciplinary medical teams.
Collaborate with field experts as you treat diverse patient populations and develop the clinical skills, professional behaviors and ethics for your independent practice. By integrating psychological theory into patient care, you’ll learn to perform assessments, therapy and consultations, fostering interdisciplinary collaboration and evidence-based methods to enhance patient care. Our partnerships with CPMC medical programs provide opportunities to work with cancer, cardiology, GI and OB-GYN patients and their families in well-integrated interdisciplinary settings.
