Job Posting- Kansas City VA Medical Center
Kansas City VA Medical Center Post Doctoral Training Program- Call for Applications
Psychologists at the Kansas City, Missouri, Department of Veterans Affairs Medical Center (KCVAMC) thank you for your inquiry and welcome your interest in our Psychology Postdoctoral Training Program. The primary goal of the program is to provide intensive and advanced training in the practice of psychology with mental health patients. The postdoctoral program is designed to develop advanced practice competencies and expertise based upon sound scientific and professional practice foundations. The training integrates clinical, scientific, and ethical knowledge in the development of attitudes and skills basic to professional psychology. The philosophy of training at the KCVAMC is best described as a "scholar-practitioner" model. The training experiences have a strong clinical focus. Knowledge and use of empirically supported processes and interventions and models of evidence-based practice are expected and encouraged in all aspects of the program.
The end result of the postdoctoral program will be that the residents will develop a professional identity that is appropriate for an autonomous professional psychologist working within multiprofessional treatment settings. The training program will allow the residents opportunities to develop an understanding and appreciation of the perspectives and expertise contributed uniquely by psychologists, as well as an appreciation and understanding of roles of other health care professions. We believe that an autonomous psychologist maintains the highest ethical standards and exercises critical thinking and sound judgment in the provision of all psychological services. In addition to possessing professional practice skills, the autonomous psychologist is flexible and has personal resources that permit generalization of skills to new situations.
The KCVAMC provides services to diverse populations. The Medical Center strives to create a therapeutic environment for, and ensure ethical treatment of, patients with diverse backgrounds and characteristics. Thus, an important goal of the postdoctoral program is to increase residents’ knowledge and skills in working with a wide range of clients from different cultural backgrounds.
Residents accepted in the Psychology Postdoctoral Program are expected to have a strong motivation to learn and the ability to accept supervision in a professional manner. Postdoctoral training is an extension of academic and internship training, but not a substitute for it. Therefore, students are expected to have acquired proficiency in the administration, scoring, and interpretation of standard intelligence and personality tests. In addition, writing ability is expected to be well-developed, as evidenced by useful, accurate, concise and thorough report writing skills. Psychotherapy experience with adults, including older adults, is required.
