The Psychological Clinic at the University of Michigan is excited to offer one full-time, 12-month Post-MSW Graduate Fellowship. This is an advanced clinical training program beginning February 3, 2027 and ending February 2, 2028 with an opportunity to extend for a second year. The mission of this Post-MSW graduate training program is to advance practice competency, professionalism, and leadership in the field of clinical social work and is designed for a clinical social worker with a limited license (LLMSW) in the State of Michigan.

Our fellowships give MSW graduates further training and experience in evidence-based intervention with adults (aged 18+) as they prepare for licensure. Fellows provide direct clinical service with supervision from expert clinicians. They also participate in a core curriculum of seminars and clinical conferences, consult with other professionals, and have the opportunity to engage in community outreach. Fellows receive training in evidence-based psychotherapy interventions.

Social work fellows will gain supervised experience with providing diagnostic assessments, individual psychotherapy (with options for group and couples therapy), and risk assessment and management. Fully licensed clinical social workers will primarily supervise social work fellows, with additional supervision provided by licensed psychologists. The fellow will have opportunities to supervise social work students, engage in clinical teaching as a part of a training plan, and develop case conceptualization, treatment planning, and clinical intervention skills, which tailor evidence-based clinical practice to individuals based on unique identities, histories, and experiences of the world.

Issues of diversity, equity, and inclusion and professional development are infused throughout the fellowship experience.

• The Psych Clinic is interested in applicants who have direct clinical experience using evidence-based interventions, in person and via telehealth, with adults from diverse backgrounds.
• Eligible applicants must have satisfactorily completed an accredited Social Work Master's Program and hold a Limited License in Social Work in the State of Michigan (LLMSW).
