About The Position

The Post-DNP Fellowship is a one-year, full-time, salaried clinical position for doctorally prepared nursing trainees preparing for independent clinical practice after licensure. The fellowship combines a PMHNP clinical role with structured interprofessional training, supporting professional development and licensure while providing a reduced caseload. Fellows work in an outpatient setting and carry a caseload that may include adults, children, couples, and families. Expected goals for the fellowship, including ages and populations served and any psychological assessment cases, are discussed before the fellowship begins.

The role is structured as 0.2 FTE training-related activities and 0.8 FTE direct patient service. Training includes weekly collaboration with a psychologist and either an advanced practice nurse or psychiatrist, psychotherapy supervision, case consultation, cohort seminars, didactic seminars, Grand Rounds, and other learning activities. The DNP track includes psychotherapy supervision in addition to medication management services. Direct service includes a minimum expectation of 25.6 completed clinical hours per week, with a mix of diagnostic assessments and follow-up appointments, plus two hours of team meetings per month. There is no call.

Fellows provide outpatient psychiatric services and psychotherapy, participate in supervision and consultation, attend meetings, and conduct formal scholarly presentations. The position is in person and pays a $120,000 annual stipend. Benefits listed for full-time independently licensed clinicians include student loan repayment, paid burnout time, retirement plan with matching, insurance coverage, paid time off and holidays, paid continuing education and volunteer time, paid parental leave, an employee assistance program, flexible scheduling, and professional development assistance.
