Successful candidates must possess a doctoral degree in psychology with training in pediatric psychology and be licensed or license-eligible in Connecticut. A fellowship in Pediatric Psychology is required. Training and experience in collaborative, integrated behavioral health models of service delivery in primary care are highly preferred.
