Post-Master’s & Post-Doctoral Fellowships

There is a serious shortage of “real world” training opportunities for post-master’s & post-doctoral clinicians. They are often left on their own to fulfill even the minimum training requirements.

At FairSky, we offer training opportunities that balance the autonomy, structure & support needed for recent limited licensed clinicians to integrate their previously acquired academic knowledge and practical experience, with further learning and practical opportunities to take their professional development to the next level.

Autonomous, Structured & Supported Experiential Learning & Training

FairSky’s post-master’s & doctoral fellowship program is committed to offering the highest level of practical clinical education possible. We provide the following, facilitated by licensed professionals:

  • One hour, weekly, individual (1:1) supervision;

  • One hour weekly fellow-dedicated group supervision;

  • 2+ hours of weekly didactic or workshop training, in clinical fundamentals & intermediate topics;

  • One hour, twice monthly, supervision/mentorship training experiences with practicum students & interns;

  • One hour, twice monthly, general clinical case conferences open to all of FairSky’s clinical staff.

  • Specialty training & mentorship opportunities in General Adult; Child and Family (including play & creative arts therapy); Couples/Partners & Relationships; Human Sexuality; Complex Trauma; Addictions & Substance Abuse Treatment; Assessment & Testing.

Training Goals

The ultimate goal for training-clinicians at FairSky is for each to be prepared to skillfully work in an individual private practice, a professional group practice, or a community-based practice, as well as to begin practice & training in hospital or school-based establishments. We are committed to supporting each practicum student, intern, fellow or fully licensed clinician explore, discover, develop and realize their unique clinical perspectives, and to help each articulate and support that perspective, respectively. Professional trainees at FairSky will also learn how to integrate pro-social advocacy efforts through our diverse learning opportunities. Advocacy skill development areas include interdisciplinary care coordination, community resourcing & connection, and feedback & evaluation integration for client-centered services
