How to Apply

Application and Selection Process

Fellows must have completed all doctoral degree requirements from an APA accredited program who will have completed or are currently completing pre-doctoral clinical internships meeting APPIC standards. This is defined as having on the first day of the fellowship either the diploma in hand or a letter from the Director of graduate studies verifying the completion of all degree requirements pending institution graduation ceremony. The application deadline is the first Friday in January each year; materials should be submitted through the APPA-CAS system or directly to the program via email or mail.

Application materials should include:

• A letter of intent expressing specific interest in neuropsychology and outlining training in support of applicant qualifications for the position
• Three letters of recommendation from individuals who can speak to skills and competencies as a clinician and assessor
• A copy of the applicant’s current Curriculum Vita
• A list of the tests that the applicant is trained to administer
• Two redacted work samples/reports (pediatric and/or neuropsychological reports are encouraged)
• Official transcript

It is the responsibility of the applicants to ensure the training director receive all required material prior to the deadline. Interviews will be arranged after initial screening of applications. All applications are reviewed by Sutter Medical Foundation recruitment, and hiring managers to compare and discuss applicant background in order to identify appropriately qualified applicants and clarify goodness of fit.

Qualified applicants are invited to be interviewed to determine goodness of fit for the program’s training model and its goals and objectives. Applicants must be authorized to work in the United States without an employer-sponsored visa or a student visa.

The fellowship is exempt as a neuropsychology specialty and reserves the right to make offers outside of NMS match date or the APPIC Common Hold Date.
