Fulltime Paid Fellowship in Substance Abuse Treatment for 2017-18 – apply by 4/1
The Addictions Treatment Center of the VA Puget Sound Health Care System, Seattle
announces openings for the
Interprofessional Fellowship in Substance Abuse Treatment
1-year full-time advanced training in substance abuse treatment
The goal of the Interprofessional Fellowship is to provide clinical and didactic experiences through which recent professional graduates from several clinical disciplines become more skilled in working therapeutically with substance abusers and become more familiar with the unique contributions that their professional disciplines provide.
A biopsychosocial model of addictive behaviors provides the rationale for the ATC’s interprofessional team approach. As such, it encourages staff to consider physiological, psychological, behavioral, and sociocultural factors in the assessment, treatment planning, and therapy processes.
We expect to have positions for two Social Workers for the 2017-2018 year. All fellows must be U.S. citizens. The fellowship begins Sept. 18, 2017.
* Social Workers must have completed a Master’s Degree from a School of Social Work accredited by the Council on Social Work education. Applications are due April 1st, 2017.
We expect to select fellows within one month of the mailing deadline.
The Fellowship is Directed by John S. Baer, Ph.D.
