APPIC Program Match Number: 150912 Number of Internship Positions: 4 Inpatient Consultation/Liaison A central clinical experience for all Pediatric Psychology Track interns is the consultation/liaison service. Inpatient consultations reflect the diversity of the Nationwide Children’s Hospital’s general pediatric mandate and are received from various services, for example: Burn/Surgery, Hematology/Oncology, Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation, Pulmonary, Gastroenterology, Neurology, NICU/PICU, Cardiology and Hospital Pediatrics. As one of the largest consultation services in the hospital, the Department of Psychology completes more than 2,000 inpatient consultations per year. Inpatient consultation often involves collaboration with different disciplines including social work, physical therapy, occupational therapy, child life, psychiatry. Faculty members distribute consults so that over the course of the year, interns are exposed to patients of different ages and presenting problems. Continuity experiences are offered so interns can follow patients throughout their entire training year (i.e., hematology/oncology). Interns manage approximately 100-150 inpatient medical consultations during the course of the year and have opportunities to be involved with several multidisciplinary teams. All interns will be involved with the oncology team for 12 months. Each intern either completes a 12 month experience with another long term service, for example, the sickle cell/pulmonary team, NICU team or Hospital Pediatrics. Interns will then complete four 3-month mini-rotations involving lower volume services which may include GI/feeding, hematology/cardiology, hospital pediatrics/renal and neurology. Inpatient consultation requests may involve pain management strategies, diagnostic assessments, behavioral interventions to improve disease self-management, intensive feeding or facilitating patient and family adjustment to a medical diagnosis. Outpatient Therapy Interns maintain an outpatient treatment caseload of approximately 9-11 outpatients. Referrals are varied and include children and adolescents with difficulties secondary to chronic illness, chronic pain, functional disorders, behavioral problems, adherence issues and family difficulties. Interns maintain treatment of 2 outpatients within our biofeedback, feeding, and type 1 diabetes programs. Our biofeedback program includes training seminars and utilizes multiple biofeedback modalities. Our outpatient feeding therapy program utilizes evidence-based behavioral strategies to work on quickly increasing variety of foods and decreasing use of supplemental formulas or tube feedings. Additionally, interns will be involved in treating children and adolescents with type 1 diabetes with focus on increasing adherence to treatment regimen. The remainder of the cases will be picked up from inpatient consultation or to address intern interests and needs. Psychological Assessment Pediatric Psychology Track interns complete a year-long assessment experience that will involve the completion of 5 to 7 reports based. Interns will be able to express preference for doing psychoeducational/ADHD assessment in the Psychology Clinic or ADHD assessments in the Integrated Primary Care Clinics. Interns will also present one assessment case in the Nuts and Bolts group and give the other interns an opportunity to practice peer supervision. Psychoeducational evaluations have referral questions which typically include school placement, developmental delays, behavioral problems, and the effects of chronic illness on cognitive and emotional functioning. All psychological assessment experiences are supervised by our pediatric psychologists. Supervision Interns receive both individual and group supervision from pediatric psychology faculty members specific to their activities. Outpatient bi-monthly group supervisions include biofeedback, feeding, and diabetes. Didactics Didactic experiences in the Pediatric Psychology track are both formal and informal. The intern will be expected to complete readings in pediatric psychology, especially as they pertain to specific pediatric populations. Readings will be chosen in consultation with clinical supervisors. In addition to internship-wide formal didactic activities, the Pediatric Psychology intern will participate in weekly Pediatric Psychology Seminars which are designed to introduce Pediatric Psychology faculty and trainees to current research, clinical, professional development, and ethical topics in pediatric psychology. Also, interns participate in weekly Clinical Service Hour when various medical professionals from within the hospital present on the etiology, treatment, and psychosocial impact of a wide range of pediatric health conditions. The Pediatric Psychology interns also have opportunity to participate in regularly scheduled meetings with various multi-disciplinary teams within the hospital. These may include but are not limited to weekly Rehabilitation Unit rounds, weekly PICU rounds, bi-monthly Oncology Psychosocial Rounds, etc. Many additional educational opportunities exist within out hospital setting including Medical Grand Rounds, Tumor Board, Clinical Research Seminars, Schwartz Center rounds, and the Multicultural Brown Bag Lunch Series. Hours Pediatric psychology interns work five days per week, although rotating responsibility for coverage of weekend and holiday consultations is necessary (approximately one weekend every 5 weeks). Hours worked per week vary, but are generally 40-50, depending on case load, special interests, and consultation coverage.
