A Brief Overview

The Division of Outpatient Behavioral Health is seeking a psychologist with expertise in the assessment and treatment of attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) in children and adolescents. The Psychologist provides psychological services to patients throughout the CHOP outpatient program, participates in the educational experience of trainees, establishes plans and initiates professional growth and leadership within the Department of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry and Behavioral Science, and presents work at the local or regional level.

Treatment is provided to individual patients, families, and through group formats. Primary diagnoses addressed fall under the categories of ADHD and Disruptive Impulse-Control and Conduct Disorders, including but not limited to oppositional defiant disorder, conduct disorder, and intermittent explosive disorder. The ideal candidate will have experience addressing common comorbid conditions, interpreting psychoeducational assessments, and identifying learning/academic concerns. Advanced training in behavioral parent training, school consultation, and behavioral health diagnostic evaluation is preferred.

Psychologists are encouraged to support training across disciplines in our multidisciplinary department (child psychiatrists, psychologists, clinical social workers, and nurse practitioners) and to contribute to program development and quality improvement initiatives in the division.
