• Maintain full compliance with Utah licensure rules, Medicaid guidelines, and commercial-insurance requirements.
• Contribute to program development, quality-improvement projects, and peer case consultation.
• Participate in (and optionally lead) journal clubs, CE workshops, and mentoring of post-docs or practicum students.

Required Qualifications

• Doctorate (PhD / PsyD) in Clinical, Counseling, or School Psychology.
• Unrestricted Utah psychologist license (or ability to obtain prior to start).
• Formal ADOS-2 training with 2+ years administering autism batteries.
