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. 

The role of the Psychologist is to carry out diagnostic evaluations and evidence-based psychosocial intervention with a diverse population of children and families ranging from early childhood through adolescence. Treatment is provided to individual patients, families, and through group formats. The primary diagnosis addressed is ADHD though experience with differential diagnosis and intervention for commonly co-existing neurodevelopmental, internalizing and externalizing diagnoses is required. The ideal candidate will also have experience interpreting psychoeducational assessments and identifying learning/academic concerns. Advanced training in behavioral parent training, school consultation, behavioral health diagnostic evaluation, and experience working in a fast-paced setting such as an Academic Medical Center is preferred.

Psychologists appointed to this position are strongly encouraged to join the faculty in Psychiatry at the Perelman School of Medicine of University of Pennsylvania.
