The mission of this Post-MSW graduate training program is to advance practice competency, professionalism, and leadership in the field of clinical social work and is designed for a clinical social worker with a limited license (LLMSW) in the State of Michigan.

Who We Are

The Psychological (Psych) Clinic is a multidisciplinary, multitheoretical, and training-focused outpatient mental health clinic serving adults in the community with a senior staff of social workers and psychologists, clinical trainees in both disciplines, and a psychiatrist. Psych Clinic (PC) is part of theMary A. Rackham Institute (https://mari.umich.edu/) (MARI), whose primary mission is to strengthen community wellness through individualized, innovative, and results-oriented mental health and language clinical services, while also educating the community about mental health, treating clients of all ages and backgrounds, and training the next generation of practitioners.

Responsibilities*

Our fellowships give MSW graduates further training and experience in evidence-based intervention with adults (aged 18+) as they prepare for licensure. Fellows provide direct clinical service with supervision from expert clinicians. They also participate in a core curriculum of seminars and clinical conferences, consult with other professionals, and have the opportunity to engage in community outreach. Fellows receive training in evidence-based psychotherapy interventions.

Social work fellows will gain supervised experience with providing initial mental health screenings, diagnostic assessments, individual psychotherapy (with options for group and couples therapy), and risk assessment and management. Fully licensed clinical social workers will primarily supervise social work fellows, with additional supervision provided by licensed psychologists. The fellow will have opportunities to supervise social work students, engage in clinical teaching as a part of a training plan, and develop case conceptualization, treatment planning, and clinical intervention skills, which tailor evidence-based clinical practice to individuals based on unique identities, histories, and experiences of the world. Issues of diversity, equity, and inclusion and professional development are infused throughout the fellowship experience.
