Training objectives are specific to each focus area, with a varying balance between clinical and research concentrations. Each focus area has a training lead who provides oversight of the fellow's training plan, including preparation for licensure. All fellows participate in didactics in professional development, cultural competency; clinical / research training, and licensure.
The Neurodevelopmental and Behavioral Psychology (NDBP) Program within the Division of Behavior Medicine and Clinical Psychology of Cincinnati Children’s is offering two (1-year) clinical fellowship positions which focus on the diagnostic evaluation of children and adolescents (ages 1-22) who present with a variety of neurodevelopmental disabilities within an interdisciplinary, outpatient setting. These clinics are housed within the Division of Developmental and Behavioral Pediatrics. Conditions include developmental delay, autism spectrum disorder, ADHD, maladaptive behaviors, intellectual and learning disabilities, and internalizing/mood concerns within the context of developmental delays. Both positions are primarily clinical with the option of some clinical research training if the candidate is interested. The positions are assessment focused with several minor elective rotation possibilities from which to select (fellows often select 1-3 depending on preferences), including short-term behavior treatment, group therapy (e.g., social skills, anxiety, parent behavior training, flexibility/executive functioning), feeding intervention, early intervention/ABA treatment, and Parent-Child Interaction Therapy (PCIT). Fellows selecting the PCIT elective have the opportunity to work towards PCIT certification. As part of the fellowship, fellows also participate in Community Outreach activities, provide umbrella supervision to doctoral level graduate students, and participate in a fellow testing clinic in collaboration with Developmental and Behavioral Pediatric Medical Fellows. For more information, please contact the Neurodevelopmental and Behavioral Pediatrics Training Director: Rebekah Ridgeway, PsyD.
The Neurodevelopmental and Behavioral Psychology (NDBP) Program within the Division of Behavioral Medicine and Clinical Psychology at Cincinnati Children’s is offering one (1-year) clinical fellowship position (Director: Rebekah Ridgeway, PsyD). The fellow can select from two programs or complete a 6-month rotation in each program. The rotations include the Neurobehavior Unit (NBU), an acute inpatient hospitalization setting, and the Brief Intensive Behavior Therapy (BIBT) clinic, an intensive outpatient setting. The Neurobehavior Unit (NBU) within the Division of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry serves children and adolescents dually diagnose with developmental disabilities and mental health disorders (Rachel Holden, PsyD). In this rotation, the fellow will be actively involved in the behavioral assessment, development and implementation of individualized treatment programs to treat severe problem behavior, parent and caregiver training, as well as participation in daily interdisciplinary rounds and family meetings. This training offers fellows the opportunity to experience a broad range of experiential learning from a multi-disciplinary team who cares for complex children with the goal of developing entry-level professionals with a broad skill and knowledge base to treat a range of severe behavior challenges in children with developmental disabilities. The Brief Intensive Behavior Therapy (BIBT) program serves children/adolescents with developmental disabilities and moderate-to-severe behavior problems who have not been successful in traditional outpatient behavioral treatment or require a higher level of care (Direct supervisor: Abby Lonnemann, PsyD). The program utilizes ABA methodology, including functional analysis of behavior, to address broad concerns ranging from pica to aggression. Caregivers are directly involved in all aspects of care in BIBT and receive assistance from direct support staff. As such, fellows will develop skills working closely with caregivers and staff. Fellows will be able to collaborate with other multi-disciplinary team members. Elective training opportunities in crisis response, protective equipment for self-injury, and safety consultation can be discussed with direct supervisors based on capacity and availability.

Postdoctoral training in psychology occurs under the supervision of licensed psychologists and occurs over a one-to-two year period. Based upon Ohio state law and the criteria for listing in the Association of Psychology Postdoctoral and Internship Centers (APPIC), there are no year-specific objectives for training. The following goals and objectives are forwarded to the State Board of Psychology each year when our program reports the individuals under supervision for the upcoming year. Specifically, at the conclusion of training (one - two years), the:
Each clinical case (assessment, treatment, or consultation) is assigned to a supervisor who is a licensed psychologist with specialized knowledge in the given area. This supervisor meets face-to-face each week with the fellow for supervision and reviews each case and signs all treatment, assessment, and / or discharge notes. In addition, in accordance with Ohio State Law, each individual receiving clinical care receives a letter documenting the supervised nature of the services that they are receiving. Evaluation for clinical care will take place by the primary clinical supervisors and will be based on the degree of competence in the specific areas of practice of the fellow, the responsiveness and timeliness of their communications with multi-disciplinary colleagues and family members, and documentation and records.
Clinical training experiences are built into clinical fellowship positions. The directors of the fellowship program can match research-focused fellows with clinical experiences / shadowing, when appropriate. Fellows obtain a minimum of 1,500 clinical hours by the completion of their training.
Many fellows are expected to take part in research that is significant, empirically sound and ethically appropriate. The degree of involvement and the specific projects will be set between fellow and mentor at the beginning of the fellowship. Several fellowships are heavily research oriented. Specific goals for research will be set for each six-month period.
Every research fellow will attend the Psychology Research Group and Writer's Workshop seminars that occur monthly and will have the opportunity to present proposals and manuscripts and to review others' work. For each session, faculty will provide guidance to the fellow. The presenting fellow will work closely with the mentor during preparation.
Research will be evaluated based on significance, scientific merit, innovation and human subjects' issues. In addition, many of the focus areas have specific journal clubs pertinent to their subject area. All fellows are invited to attend these journal clubs. Evaluation for research will take place by determining the degree to which the fellow is accomplishing goals.
Each fellow has the opportunity to participate in didactic teaching and mentoring of psychology and/or medical trainees, as well as colleagues of other disciplines. Some fellows will be involved in "umbrella supervision" of graduate students or psychology interns. Supervisors will evaluate fellows' teaching and mentoring by determining whether they have accomplished the teaching activities set as objectives. In addition, evaluators will complete formal evaluation forms, faculty observation and informal feedback from participants when assessing fellows.
Each fellow is required to participate in a minimum of two hours a week of didactic learning experiences. Most of these hours will be completed in seminars related to fellows' specific focus areas. There are two monthly seminars that all postdoctoral fellows are required to attend, and several other seminars that fellows may choose based on their interests and training goals. Each fellow will be asked to keep a monthly log of seminars attended, which is submitted to the mentor and the directors of training every six months.
Self-Assessment and Initial Goal Setting
Fellows assess their baseline skills and experiences via our program's Fellow Self-Assessment Form. During the first month of training, fellows rate their perceived competence and confidence across specific research and clinical skills. This self-assessment is not meant to be evaluative, but simply to start a dialogue about past training experiences and to enhance goal setting. Fellows should be entering fellowship training at Cincinnati Children's because they have specific skills they wish to further develop. Fellows set goals and are evaluated across the following areas: Clinical, Research, Teaching/Mentoring, and Professional Relationships/Development. The self-assessment and goal setting forms are reviewed by mentors and program directors. Feedback will be provided for revisions, if necessary. The final document is signed by all parties.
Evaluation Process
Fellow Evaluation: At six-month intervals, the primary mentor(s) / supervisor(s) and fellow complete a series of evaluations. The fellow completes the Goals and Fellow Evaluation form with their initial (or previous goals) and provides documentation of progress towards each goal. The primary supervisor will then add their comments and ratings to this form to ensure both the evaluation and progress towards goals is captured in one document. New goals are also set for the next six-month period. The evaluation forms are reviewed by the program directors. Feedback will be provided for revisions, if necessary. The final document is signed by all parties.
Ratings: Fellows are evaluated on a three-point scale to denote status across Educational, Clinical, Research, Teaching/Mentoring, and Professional Relationships/Development domains (e.g. "Needs Improvement (1)"; "On Target (2)" ; "Exceptional Performance (3)").
Evaluation of Mentors, Supervisors, and Training Program: Clinical and research mentors are evaluated along the same timeline (every six months) using program specific forms. The evaluation forms are reviewed by the program directors. Feedback will be provided if necessary. The final document is signed by all parties. Fellows also evaluate the training program throughout the year, as well as formally at the end of the training year. An anonymous online survey is provided for this end-of-year evaluation, which is compiled by the chief fellow(s) and presented to faculty, with a copy forwarded to the Cincinnati Children's Graduate Medical Education Office.
Appeal, Due Process and Grievances: Fellows and training faculty have the right to appeal any evaluation they have received. Fellows and their supervisors are encouraged to work out any difficulties within the context of the supervisory relationship and among focus area faculty. Any difficulties that cannot be resolved or persist should be brought directly to the fellowship program directors. Procedures for appeal, due process, grievances, and handling professional impairment are reviewed at the annual fellow and faculty orientation and are included on the program website and in the program manual.
Each fellow is provided with a Professional Development Mentor (PDM), which may be a mentor within BMCP or in a related field. The PDM does not have an evaluative or supervisory role over the fellow, allowing for open dialogue about professional development and career goals. Fellows are required to meet with their PDM at least four times per year (quarterly) or as often as desired. Most research fellows also select a Scholarly Oversight Committee (SOC), which is comprised of several mentors in the fellows’ specialty and/or related field that monitor and evaluate the fellow’s progress and individual development, including the selection and execution of research activities.
We have a due process policy and a grievance policy in place. Fellows and faculty receive a copy of these procedures at the commencement of training, with a copy included in the training manual.
