(MCWP) in the Division of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry. MCWP is an
important and growing outpatient program on the interface between the
inpatient child consultation-liaison service and the child psychiatry
clinics. Patients are those with comorbid psychiatric and physical illness
who require psychiatric evaluation, psychiatric medication management, and
individual and family therapy. Responsibilities will include providing
supervision and didactics to psychology graduate students, post docs, and
child psychiatry fellows. Ample clinical research and mentorship
opportunities are also available including with the pediatric solid organ
transplant program at Stanford.
Applicants should have experience in
evaluating and treating both children and adolescents with a broad spectrum
of presenting problems. Expertise in pediatric consultation liaison
psychiatry is preferred. The successful candidate will be offered

their clinical work. We are currently accepting applications and review will
