Clinical Pain Psychology Fellowship
The Stanford University Division of Pain Management offers a one-year postdoctoral program to train individuals interested in developing a specialization in Pain Psychology. The selected fellow will work within an interdisciplinary pain management outpatient center comprised of specialists from Psychology, Anesthesiology, Neurology, Psychiatry, Addiction Medicine, Acupuncture, Physical Therapy, and Nursing. Primary clinical responsibilities will include performing new patient evaluations, administering, scoring, and interpreting psychological assessments, pre-surgical screenings for implantable therapies, and delivering outpatient treatment services to patients diagnosed with various chronic pain conditions.

Research opportunities will also be available within a thriving translational NIH-funded research environment (http://snapl.stanford.edu) and encouraged secondary to clinical care.
Qualified applicants will have a strong background in Health Psychology and will have completed their doctoral training and pre-doctoral internship at APA-accredited programs by the start of the fellowship year.
