Description

The Department of Psychiatry and Neurobehavioral Sciences at the University of Virginia is seeking candidates for a full-time (Assistant Professor) clinical psychologist to provide integrated behavioral health care in the UVA Health University Medical Associates (UMA) Primary Care Clinic. Salary and tenure status are dependent upon qualifications and experience. Primary responsibilities will include providing outpatient, empirically-based psychological services (e.g., diagnostic assessment and…

intervention) to individuals with a wide variety of medical diagnoses and mental health concerns. Many of the patients served within UMA are vulnerable patients who have limited access to mental health care and thus integrated psychological services are integral to their overall healthcare. The integrated behavioral health care provided within UMA has resulted in decreased depression and anxiety in their patients and improvement in secondary outcomes and increased engagement in primary care and improved adherence to medical care plans. UMA is a training clinic for residents in internal medicine and provides opportunities for contributing to medical education.

Responsibilities:

Psychological Assessment and Treatment: The primary focus of this position is clinical care (80%). Faculty will conduct psychological diagnostic evaluations of patients referred by their primary care providers to identify psychosocial factors impacting their health and well-being and provide evidence-based individual psychotherapy.
Behavioral Health Integration: Faculty will collaborate with interdisciplinary healthcare teams to integrate behavioral health services into the medical care setting, ensuring comprehensive and holistic care for patients.
Education: Opportunities for teaching include didactics for internal medicine residents and medical student shadowing.
Program Development: Faculty will participate in the development and implementation of new programs and initiatives aimed at improving the psychological well-being and overall health outcomes of UMA populations.

Location:

The University of Virginia Medical Center is located in the midst of the main university grounds of the University of Virginia. The University of Virginia is annually ranked as one of the premier public institutions in the United States and is located in Charlottesville, a picturesque small but cosmopolitan city that offers a blend of historic charm, natural beauty, and cultural vibrancy. UVA assists faculty spouses and partners seeking employment in the Charlottesville area. To learn more about these services, please visit http://provost.virginia.edu/dual-career.

Qualifications

Candidates must have a PhD/PsyD in Clinical or Counseling Psychology from an APA-accredited program. Preference will be given to those with experience with brief, evidence-based interventions in medical settings with vulnerable populations and providing integrated health care or other experience consulting with medical providers. Candidates must be license-eligible in the Commonwealth of Virginia and must be licensed by date of hire. Candidates must also be board certified or eligible for board certification from the American Board of Professional Psychology. Board certification is a requirement for clinical privileges within UVA Health, and individuals are expected to obtain board certification after hire, typically within 3 years.
