Psychology Fellowship Programs

The mission of the Postdoctoral Psychology Fellowship Program at the Marshfield Clinic Health System is to promote the development of advanced skills for professional psychologists in the areas of child clinical and pediatric psychology.   This development occurs through the fellow's participation in a structured, intensive training program that involves direct and indirect supervision, didactic seminars, case conferences, and a planned clinical case load involving varying practice settings, presenting problems, clinical tasks and clientele.

Our program is committed to applying contemporary models in training. Our faculty incorporates information from a variety of sources including  APPIC and ACGME conferences, professional list serves, websites (APA, APPIC, ACGME, National Register, ABPP) and literature reviews. Core documents for our program include: Competency Benchmarks: A Model for Understanding and Measuring Competence in Professional Psychology Across Training Levels; Competency Assessment Toolkit for Professional Psychology; Recommendations for Training in Pediatric Psychology: Defining Core Competencies Across Training Levels; Application of the Competency Cube Model to Clinical Child Psychology; Competency Benchmarks: Practical Steps Toward a Culture of Competence; Core Competencies for Interprofessional Collaborative Practice. We continue to monitor the field for the further application of the competency model to training.

The program builds upon the fellow's basic clinical skills and literature review skills developed in graduate school and on internship.  Based on this foundation, the fellowship program provides a graduated level of clinical experiences and intensive individual supervision.  Fellows progress to increasing levels of independent functioning based upon close supervision of cases and directed review of the relevant literature and other training materials.  Each fellow accepted into the program is supported to master the experiences of the program and graduate.

The fellowship program is a small program consisting of psychologists who are dedicated to teaching as part of their clinical careers.  They find teaching to be a mutual learning process in which fellow and supervisor are enriched.  This is well demonstrated in the supportive, collegial mentoring that is provided to each fellow.

The goals indicated below are derived from the Mission Statement and Philosophy of Training:

• The fellowship will assist the fellow in becoming an accomplished clinician capable of practicing at an advanced level independently in a variety of clinical settings.
• The fellowship will involve postdoctoral fellows in teaching and consultation activities to facilitate pursuit of consultant, and educator roles in addition to their roles as therapists and diagnosticians.
• The fellowship will provide a structured sequence of seminars and training activities in support to the above goals.
• The fellowship will provide feedback and guidance to each fellow regarding their progress via twice per week supervision with their primary supervisor, weekly supervision with their clinical supervisor, monthly status of training meetings with the Director of Training, and formative feedback on performance on the observable practice activities (OPAs), summative feedback via quarterly formal OPA evaluations and semi-annual feedback on competencies performance from the Clinical Competency Committee.
• The fellowship will remain contemporary with clinical and professional practice standards via its training committee members maintaining active involvement in continuing education in the areas relevant to fellowship training.
• The fellowship will tailor training to each fellow's specific needs and interests as reflected in the development of the IFP at the beginning of training.
• The fellowship will assist postdoctoral fellows in completing state licensing tasks so that they become licensed during or at the conclusion of fellowship.
• The fellowship program will support and mentor fellows in their selection, completion and dissemination of a research/scholarly activity if they are completing the two-year fellowship.

Faculty will pursue the Mission Statement and the above goals with each fellow in a respectful and non-exploitative manner which protects the civil and personal rights of the fellow as is the policy and expectation for treatment of all staff at the Marshfield Clinic Health System.

We teach, model, reinforce, evaluate and, when necessary, remediate elements of each of the following core competencies: professionalism; reflective practice/self-care; relationships; individual and cultural diversity; ethical, legal standards and policy; interdisciplinary systems; assessment; intervention; consultation; management; and, advocacy. Each training site has a specific set of Observable Professional Activities (OPAs), linked to the core competencies, upon which the fellow is evaluated by the attending faculty member. Fellows are expected to reach performance on each OPA at the Entrusted Professional Activity (EPA) level,  allowing for performance of that OPA at Supervision Level 4-Oversight (per  ACGME standards Oversight means the supervising psychologist is available to provide review of procedures/encounters with feedback provided after care). The overall goal is for the fellow to reach the EPA level on all the OPAs for that service so they can function in a semiautonomous manner and be ready to lead a similar service at an advanced level upon graduation.

The goal of the child/adolescent psychology fellowship is to enhance the fellow's skills in the assessment and treatment of children and adolescents with a wide range of emotional and behavioral problems.

We are currently accepting applications for the child/adolescent position, with a start date of August 24, 2026. This fellowship fits best for a psychology graduate who has previous child clinical psychology training, or solid generalist skills in assessment and psychotherapy, with a background in child development and behavioral interventions. It is anticipated that psychologists completing this training program intend to work with children and adolescents as a major emphasis of their careers.

The fellow provides services in the Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Health, the Child Development Center and the Department of Pediatrics. Training on these services is guided by the observable practice activities (OPAs). The attending psychologist assesses the fellows' performance on the OPAs and provides formative feedback. OPA performance contributes to the semiannual Clinical Competency Committee (CCC) summative evaluation of the fellow with respect to the core competencies and their essential components.

The fellow receives three hours per week of scheduled individual supervision and conducts approximately 22-24 clinical hours per week, which includes specialty clinic services.  Fellows participate in the weekly fellowship seminar, the bi-weekly case consultation staffing, the monthly professionalism/leadership seminar and quarterly patient safety/quality improvement forums.

Although the child/adolescent psychology fellow is encouraged to use a variety of therapeutic approaches, the prevailing approaches among the faculty are behavioral and cognitive-behavioral, embedded in a developmental understanding of the child. Interventions include individual therapy, parent guidance and family therapy. Our graduates in this fellowship go on to community settings working with medical, school and social service systems. As a result, fellows will become involved with systems in-services and presentations to the community.

Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Health Psychological Testing Clinic
Through the psychological testing service, fellows will administer and interpret comprehensive psychoeducational and psychological evaluations to assess for anxiety, depression, thought disorders, personality traits, atypical behaviors, ADHD, and learning disorders. Fellows will become proficient at administering and interpreting cognitive, academic, executive functioning, projective, and personality measures. They will learn to combine testing data and relevant background information into an integrative report. Fellows will become skilled at communicating the results to children and families, the child's psychotherapist, medical professionals, school personnel, social service agencies, and other community agencies.

Individual Psychotherapy
The fellow works with children and adolescents exhibiting a wide range of emotional and behavioral problems, including attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, anxiety disorders, depressive disorders, somatization disorders and behavior disorders. Assessment includes interview, collateral contacts with family and other professionals, and psychological tests and behavioral questionnaires. The fellow conducts diagnostic assessments, conceptualizes the cases, devises treatment plans, and implements interventions.

Child/adolescent psychology fellows are trained in short-term therapy involving relatively rapid assessment of patients' problems and the formulation of interventions lasting five to ten sessions. In addition, efforts are made to provide experience in longer-term therapy particularly for children and adolescents with persistent psychological problems and/or trauma.

Pediatric Psychiatry and Behavioral Health ADHD Clinic
Through the Pediatric Psychiatry and Behavioral Health ADHD Clinic, the fellow will participate with child psychiatrists in the assessment of mood and behavioral concerns with special emphasis on ADHD.  Fellows will become proficient at interpreting cognitive, academic, executive functioning, emotional/behavioral measures and personality measures related to this specialty service. They will learn to combine testing data and relevant background information into an integrative report. Fellows will become skilled at communicating the results to children and families, the child psychiatrist, medical professionals, school personnel, social service agencies, and other community agencies. Fellows are involved with the ADHD Clinic throughout their fellowship.

Autism Clinic
Through the Child Development Center's Autism Clinic, the fellow will participate on a multidisciplinary team, which includes pediatric neurologists, developmental pediatricians, pediatric neuropsychologists, occupational therapists, and speech-language pathologists, in the assessment of developmental disorders with special emphasis on autism spectrum disorders. Fellows will learn formal and informal assessment procedures, with an emphasis on conducting parent interviews reviewing DSM 5 criteria for an autism spectrum disorder and administering, scoring and interpreting the Autism Diagnostic Observation Scale-2. Fellows will also learn interventions for children and their families related to this specialty service. Fellows are involved with the Autism Clinic throughout their fellowship. Here is information on CDC including the Autism Clinic.

Bardet-Biedl Syndrome (BBS) Clinic:
The fellow will participate on the only multidisciplinary team in the nation that provides comprehension care for children, teenagers, and adults with BBS. The treatment team consists of various providers throughout the MCHS.  Services that the fellow will provide include: (a) an evaluation of the patient and/or family's presenting concerns, strengths and areas of growth, (b) individual and/or family treatment goals that focus on coping and adjusting to their diagnostic symptoms while supporting generalization of skills to improve daily functioning, (c) communicating with team members and patient providers to foster coordination of care and services. Here is information about our Bardet-Biedl Syndrome services.

Center for Community Heath Advancement (CCHA) – Youth Net Program:
The fellow will have the opportunity to participate in an after-school social emotional learning group through the Youth Net program called Life Tools. The Life Tools program serves children in grades 2nd through 8th. There are four groups that consist of 8 sessions per group throughout the academic year. The group is one hour long and is held at the local YMCA. The fellow will work alongside Youth Net staff, AmeriCorps members, and the lead psychologist. There are opportunities for program facilitation, program development, and collaboration among other school districts implementing the Life Tools program. Here is information about CCHA and the Youth Net Program.

Primary Care Behavioral Health:
The fellow will have the opportunity to obtain training in clinical work with children and adolescents within Pediatric Primary Care as part of an integrated primary care behavioral health service. Training opportunities in outpatient specialty clinics within the Department of Pediatrics are also available, including diabetes and cystic fibrosis.

Dr. Kelsi Offenwanger was one of our most recent child/adolescent psychology fellows. Upon graduation she took a position here at MCHS working with CCHA, Autism Clinic, BBS Clinic and outpatient behavioral health. Here is her perspective on the fellowship experience and activities at MCHS.

The goal of the pediatric psychology position is to enhance the psychologist’s skills in the assessment, consultation and treatment of children in medical inpatient and outpatient specialty clinics. 

We have filled this position for the 2026-2027 training year. This fellowship would fit best for a psychologist who has previous pediatric psychology training, or who has solid general skills in assessment and psychotherapy, along with a background in child developmental and behavioral interventions with children. It is anticipated that psychologists completing this training program plan a career that includes working with children and adolescents with medical problems and providing psychological services in a medical setting.

The pediatric psychology fellow will participate in several areas specific to children with medical or medically related disorders. Children and their parents are treated as outpatients or medical inpatients. Training on these services is guided by the observable practice activities (OPAs).

The expected caseload is an average of 22-24 hours of direct patient contact per week. Very close supervision is provided in the early phase of the pediatric psychology fellowship training experience, tapering as the fellow demonstrates effective performance on the observable practice activities (OPAs) of each service. The attending psychologist assesses the fellows' performance on the OPAs and provides formative feedback. OPA performance contributes to the semiannual Clinical Competency Committee (CCC) summative evaluation of the fellow with respect to the core competencies and their essential components.

The focus is immediate intervention on a short-term basis. In addition to working with infants, children, adolescents and their families, the fellow will gain experience consulting with physicians, nurses and other medical team members on the consultation-liaison service.  Fellows participate in the weekly fellowship seminar, the bi-weekly case consultation staffing, the monthly professionalism seminar, the monthly leadership seminar and quarterly patient safety/quality improvement forums.

While the pediatric psychology fellow will be exposed to and encouraged to explore different conceptual frameworks, the prevailing theoretical framework is behavioral and cognitive behavioral. The fellow must begin with a firm foundation in child development and the principles of behavior modification. Pediatric psychology focuses on normative behavior and stresses an educative approach.

Accordingly, the pediatric psychology fellow will become involved in professional in-services and presentations to the larger community. The specific training activities for the post-doctoral fellow in pediatric psychology will vary to some degree, based upon the training needs and interests of the fellow. Approximately 50 percent of the fellow's time will be spent doing inpatient consultation.

Inpatient units
In our regional children's hospital, the fellow will consult to the Pediatrics Unit, Pediatric Intensive Care Unit (PICU), and the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU). The fellow will also work with patients on the Pediatric Rehabilitation Inpatient Team (PRIT). Through these practice settings you will be exposed to a broad range of patient ages and medical concerns. You will collaborate in patient care with physicians from endocrinology, hematology/oncology, respiratory diseases, surgery, orthopedics, neonatology, gastroenterology, nephrology, trauma and cardiology. Fellows are involved with the inpatient unit services throughout their fellowship.

Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU)
The pediatric psychology fellow will provide assessment and therapeutic support for families who have a newborn infant in the intensive care unit. The fellow will assist families in coping with chronic illnesses, varying levels of compromised infants, and the care of a vulnerable child. Common issues include parental depression and anxiety regarding their baby, issues of death and dying, out of home placements, and ethical decisions regarding level of treatment interventions. Fellows will attend weekly rounds with the medical staff team members.

Pediatric and Pediatric Intensive Care Unit (PICU)
In this setting, pediatric psychologists work with children and their families who are hospitalized for medical reasons. The pediatric psychology fellow will learn to conduct assessments for suspected psycho-physiologic disorders, parenting capacity, child abuse, child and family coping capacity, assessment of pediatric patients following suicide attempts, adherence to medical regimen, pain management, and the degree to which family dysfunction may interfere with medical treatment. The fellow will obtain experience with a wide range of medical patients, including patients with cancer, diabetes, congenital handicapping conditions, kidney failure, feeding disorders, conversion disorders, cardiac problems, seizures and other neurological conditions, gastrointestinal disorders, respiratory conditions, and issues of death and dying.

Individual Psychotherapy
Some time may be spent providing short term outpatient therapy to individuals needing therapeutic follow-up after discharge from Marshfield Children's Hospital for continued coping and adjustment to illness and/or trauma.

The fellow will have the opportunity to obtain training in clinical work with children and adolescents within Pediatric Primary Care as part of an integrated primary care behavioral health service. Training opportunities in outpatient specialty clinics within the Department of Pediatrics are also available, including diabetes and cystic fibrosis.

The goal of the Adult Clinical and Health Psychology Post-Doctoral Fellowship is to train fellows in the development of advanced clinical skills, interdisciplinary professionalism, and leadership in both clinical and health psychology for assessment and treatment of adult patients with a wide range of emotional, behavioral and health problems.

Our program of training is comprised of two APA psychology specialties: Clinical Psychology and Clinical Health Psychology. Our fellowship fits best for a psychology graduate who has previous adult clinical psychology training, counseling psychology training, or solid generalist skills in assessment and psychotherapy treatment with a background in adult psychopathology and psychotherapy interventions. It is anticipated that psychologists completing this training program intend to work with adult patients in multidisciplinary health care or community settings as a major emphasis for their careers. Satisfactory completion of this postdoctoral training program meets all postdoctoral supervised practice requirements for licensure in the state of Wisconsin.

During our one-year fellowship program, fellows provide a wide variety of traditional outpatient clinical services and integrated health psychology services in the Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Health,  Department of Oncology and Hematology,  Psychological Testing Service,  Bariatric Surgery Program, and Primary Care Behavioral Health Service in the Internal Medicine Department. Fellows also provide services in conjunction with the Sleep Medicine Department.  We follow a training model of structured skill development that entails shadowing, to supervised practice, to independent practice.  Training for various services is guided by defined observable practice activities (OPAs). 

Fellows receive two to three hours per week of scheduled individual supervision with additional supervision of direct clinical activities.  Fellows gain 20–30 hours per week of clinical practice experience across diverse clinical services.  Fellowship training is anchored by numerous didactic experiences including a weekly Adult Core Fellowship Seminar, monthly Professionalism, Ethics, and Leadership Seminar, clinical service team meetings, Grand Rounds, and other learning activities.  Through these training activities, fellows gain both breadth and depth of clinical knowledge and experience.

The fellowship encourages use of a variety of therapeutic approaches grounded in evidence-based practice.  Faculty supervisors are integrative in their therapeutic approach with an emphasis on Cognitive-Behavioral, Psychodynamic, Humanistic, Interpersonal, and Acceptance and Commitment therapeutic orientations.  Fellows receive extensive training in assessment and intervention to include: diagnostic evaluation, psychological testing, consultation, individual therapy, marital/family therapy; and structured patient education.  Fellows additionally gain experience working in multidisciplinary teams, interacting with administration, and engaging in program development and advocacy.  We anticipate that graduates of this fellowship will progress in their careers to function at leadership levels.

Bariatric Surgery Program
Fellows join a team of multidisciplinary providers and staff who comprise the Metabolic and Bariatric Surgery Center of Excellence program.  Fellows learn to conduct comprehensive pre-surgical psychological evaluations with patients seeking bariatric surgery.  Fellows become proficient at record review and report writing.  Fellows also learn to communicate diagnostic impressions and recommendations to the treatment team regarding a patient's candidacy for surgery, management of the patient through the pre to post-surgical regime, and any mental health treatment needs that the patient may have requiring alignment of additional resources.

Department of Oncology and Hematology
Fellows work with adult patients diagnosed with cancer as part of the Psycho-Oncology Service.  Fellows work in consultation with medical oncologists, radiation oncologists, neuro-oncologists, surgeons, nurse practitioners, nurses, patient navigators, medical social workers, and medical assistants to meet patient care needs.  Brief assessment, consultation, and individual and family consultation are  provided to patients screening high in distress and/or requesting Health Psychology services as part of their medical care. Fellows gain exposure to adjustment disorders, anxiety, depression, and other psychiatric disorders precipitated or exacerbated by a cancer diagnosis and cancer treatment and learn to treat these conditions in the context of cancer.  Fellows learn how to interact effectively and efficiently with medical specialists, document services in medical records, and participate in a variety of team based meetings to include Cancer Committee, Breast Cancer Committee, HPC Transplant Committee, and the Oncology Continuum of Care Committee.

Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Health
Fellows work with adults exhibiting a wide range of emotional and behavioral problems including adjustment disorders, anxiety disorders, mood disorders, personality disorders, behavioral disorders, medical conditions, and relationship distress. The patient population covers a broad spectrum of psychopathology, symptomatology, and functioning spanning from seeing patients typical of those presenting to community mental health settings, to patients with significant medical comorbidity, to patients who are highly accomplished professionals.  This breadth provides fellows a full range of clinical exposure to diverse patient populations. Assessment includes diagnostic evaluation, collateral contacts with family and other professionals, psychological testing, and use of screening instruments. The fellow conducts diagnostic assessments, conceptualizes cases, develops treatment plans, collaborates with other professionals for care of a patient, and implements interventions.  Interventions include individual psychotherapy, marital/family therapy, and consultation.  Fellows train in short-term psychotherapy and consultation involving rapid assessment and formulation of interventions. Fellows gain experience with long-term psychotherapy with persistent conditions such as trauma, clinical depression, and personality disorders.  Fellows have many opportunities to collaborate with other professionals to include psychiatrists, psychiatric nurse practitioners, clinical social workers, and nurses.

Primary Care Behavioral Health (PCBH)
PCBH training includes rapid diagnostic evaluation, proficiency with use of screening instruments, brief psychotherapy intervention, and consultation and coordination of care with primary care physicians, psychiatrists, integrated behavioral health nurses, nurse practitioners, and other staff within an embedded integrated care service.  Services in PCBH center around management of mental health conditions and chronic disease with patients seen in the primary care setting.

Psychological Testing Service
In the Psychological Testing Service, fellows administer and interpret comprehensive psychological evaluations to assess for anxiety, depression, thought disorders, personality traits, atypical behaviors, ADHD, and cognitive disorders. Fellows become proficient at administering and interpreting objective personality measures with additional training opportunities in cognitive, academic, executive functioning, and projective personality measures. Fellows learn to combine testing data, relevant background information, and other sources of data into an integrative report. Fellows become skilled at communicating the results to patients and medical professionals. 

Sleep Medicine Program
Fellows learn to provide an array of cognitive/behavioral and mindfulness-based psychotherapy interventions for the treatment of insomnia and other sleep disorders diagnosed at either the Marshfield Medical Center Sleep Lab and by physicians and APCs in the health system.  Fellows learn to coordinate care with neurologists, nurse practitioners, and other staff specializing in Sleep Medicine.

The goal of the evaluation process is to enhance the performance of the fellow, the supervision and the program. The program strives to provide formative feedback throughout training such that the summative formal feedback provided by the Clinical Competency Committee semiannually is consistent with what fellows have received throughout their training. As a component of this, the program director meets monthly with each fellow to review their progress and to discuss any concerns with training, supervision, the program, adjustment to the new community, etc. In support to this goal, we conduct evaluations of the fellow, the supervisors, the program and the program director.

Evaluations are completed on each fellow by their primary and clinical supervisors. These are done via assessment of performance on the Observable Practice Activities (OPAs) for each training activity. The purpose of the evaluations is to provide feedback, guidance, and directed remediation as needed. The evaluations are reviewed directly with the fellow by the supervisor. OPAs address the following areas: Professional Characteristics, Utilization of Supervision, Therapy Skills, Assessment Skills, and Practice Management Skills. The evaluations are designed to be consistent with and in support of the program goals and in reference to each fellow's Individualized Fellowship Plan (IFP).

The Psychology Fellowship Program's Clinical Competency Committee (CCC), comprised of the supervisors and the Program Director, reviews the progress of all the fellows in the program. The CCC serves the important function to synthesize the quantitative and qualitative assessments of each fellow. It provides to the Program Director an overall performance assessment semiannually on each fellow, utilizing a competencies assessment tool. The CCC also provides a graduation recommendation in the later part of the training year.

A primary goal of the evaluation process is to enhance performance of the fellow. In support of this goal, we conduct regular evaluations of the fellow, the supervisors, the program and the program director.  The program director meets monthly with each fellow to review progress and discuss any concerns with training, supervision, the program, and adjustment to the program and community. The program strives to provide formative feedback throughout training, such that the summative feedback provided semiannually by the Clinical Competency Committee is consistent with feedback that fellows have received throughout training. 

Quarterly evaluations are completed by the fellows on their primary and clinical supervisors. The purpose of these evaluations is to provide feedback on ways to enhance the clinical supervision. This evaluation activity is designed to facilitate adjustments in the supervisory interaction to facilitate the fellow's successful pursuit of their IFP and the program's goals. The evaluation addresses the following topics: Supervision Logistics, Process, and Specific Skills Training.

Quarterly evaluations are completed by the fellow on the Fellowship Program. The purpose of these evaluations is to provide a structured, systematic way of obtaining feedback regarding strengths and areas of recommended improvement in the program. These evaluations are reviewed directly by the fellow with the primary supervisor and the Program Director. The program evaluation reviews general characteristics of the program, specific training opportunities, and how they support pursuit of the IFP.

Quarterly evaluations are completed by the fellow on the Program Director. The purpose of these evaluations is to structure a process for fellows to provide feedback to the Program Director about their interaction and about program concerns. This evaluation activity is designed to facilitate adjustments in the interaction to facilitate the fellow's successful pursuit of their IFP and the program's goals. The evaluation assesses the Program Director's availability and support to the fellows, leadership, contributions to training and support for self-care.

The faculty of the Postdoctoral Psychology Fellowship Program value open communication and strong working relationships with the fellows.  If a disagreement  arises between a fellow and a training staff member over the evaluations/feedback, the optimal outcome would be that the disagreement be resolved directly between the individuals in a professional manner, such that the resolution process itself becomes a learning opportunity for conflict management among colleagues. Division of Education policies related to due process, grievances, and professional behavior are followed throughout this process.

If a situation cannot be resolved in the above manner, the fellow is encouraged to utilize the sequence noted below:

1. Talk with primary supervisor; if unresolved,
2. Talk with Program Director; if unresolved,
3. Talk with Director of the Corporate Office of Education and implement a  Grievance/Due Process procedure through the Division of Education.
4. At any point, the fellow may directly consult the Program Director or the Director of the Corporate Office of Education if circumstances preclude using the aforementioned sequence.
