Post-DNP Fellow (Psychiatry; PMHNP)

The Lorenz Clinic, LLC • Minneapolis, MN

About The Position

Graduating your doctoral program is an exciting time filled with mixed hope and uncertainty. The idealism and zeal for learning is met with the complexity of the clinical landscape and licensing requirements. You’re ‘thrown from the nest’ of your graduate program, and while you’re prepared for what’s next, you’re often left to cobble together work experiences and supervision that count for licensure. The worst case scenario is finding yourself in a role where it’s all about work– where the first thing that goes out the window is your learning. This is why our fellowship exists. Our Post-DNP Fellowship is a position designed to help amplify your learning and get licensed. The fellowship follows a cohort model so that you can leverage a group of interprofessional peers to further your learning. The program’s myriad benefits aren’t easily reduced to a bulleted list, soundbite, or tweet, so we encourage you to learn more about the program by visiting our website. Lorenz Clinic’s interprofessional training program was founded on the values and competencies of professional psychology as well as a systemic epistemology. The clinic seeks to develop effective interventionists judged by their ability to create change. Graduates leave with a deep professional network and the ability to work both independently and on interdisciplinary treatment teams. The fellowship provides invaluable client hours needed for licensure while ensuring the pre-licensure period is focused on professional development, not just working. The signature pedagogy of the interdisciplinary mental health profession is clinical supervision. In contrast to graduate school where much of the learning is from classroom instruction, the majority of the learning on fellowship happens during applied practice and within the context of the supervisory working relationship. Most of the learning occurs within the confines of one’s professional practice and regular clinical supervision. The clinic does host intermittent didactics, but “training” does not mean that fellows will be provided step-by-step guides or detailed procedural guidance, as that would be developmentally inappropriate for trainees at this level, especially independently-licensed PMHNPs. The Post-DNP fellowship is structured as 0.2 FTE training-related activities and 0.8 FTE PMHNP role. The role also includes 0.8 FTE time spent in direct patient service. This involves 25.6 completed clinical hours (1536 min.) per week, which can be a mix of 60 min. diagnostic assessments or 30 min. Follow-ups. There is also 2 hrs/month of team meetings. The client contact hours represented in this section is the minimum expectation. The other hours in this section are general, on average; the exact number of hours will vary depending on program need, scheduling constraints, etc.. The start date of various training series is dependent on when each cohort is convened and effectively onboarded. Note: training outcomes are aspirational and not guaranteed, as they are a function of myriad factors including trainees’ prior preparation, learning goals, personality traits, commitment to learning, openness, flexibility, and so on. Fellows function in an applied, clinical role providing services to clients in an outpatient setting. The postdoctoral fellowship is a 1-year, full- time, salaried clinical position that prepares doctorally-prepared trainees for independent clinical work post-licensure. The fellowship represents the final year of intensive, formal training before independent practice. The fellowship is truly the culmination of many years of preparation and hard work, and is meant to help prepare you for your first position. Core clinical activities include carrying a patient caseload that includes adults, children, couples, and families. Fellows discuss prior to the Fellowship the expected goals for the Fellowship, which may include ages and populations for psychotherapy and psychological assessment cases (if assessment is a stated goal). There is no call with this position. This is a full-time, salaried, W2, in-person role.
