During the first week of the fellowship year, each fellow will complete a Learning Contract. The Learning Contract is designed to ensure that each fellow sets and accomplishes his/her professional goals for the fellowship year.
Each fellow will receive a written evaluation regarding his/her performance and progress towards his/her individualized goals two times a year. These evaluations will be provided to the fellow midyear and at the end of the fellowship year. Likewise, fellows will have the opportunity to provide feedback about the fellowship program and discuss with the supervisors what they would like to see improved. We view the fellowship as a collaborative process between the supervisors and the fellow, with the goal to produce highly competent clinicians and researchers prepared to conduct criminal forensic evaluations and advance policy regarding forensic issues. The fellowship is designed to provide 2,000 hours of clinical experiences, which will fulfill most states’ requirements for a psychology license. The Fellowship was recently renewed for the ABPP experience waiver.
