Our Fellows

2023 - 2024 Clinical Psychology Postdoctoral Fellowship Class

 

J.AugensternJulia Augenstern, Ph.D.
Integrated Care Family Track (Pediatric)
University of Virginia
 
I was thrilled to join the URMC Integrated Care Family Track in Pediatrics. This fellowship offers an unparalleled unification of my passions for serving children and families in accessible settings, systems thinking at the family, community, and healthcare levels, and contribution to medical education that promotes a compassionate, whole-person, and biopsychosocial approach. I could not have designed a better training program to support my development as a pediatric psychologist prepared to serve in multiple clinical, supervisory, advocacy, and leadership roles within an integrated healthcare setting. Fellows in this track also have the opportunity to engage in rich continuing education around medical family therapy while applying these skills in multiple interdisciplinary settings. Didactics and courses here have truly felt applicable to my everyday practice and professional development goals, allowing for lots of translational and hands-on learning. I am happy to connect with any prospective applicants to talk more about this fellowship!
 
k.parkhurstKimberly Parkhurst, Ph.D.
Integrated Care Family Track (Primary Care - Internal Medicine)
University of Utah
 
I was excited to return to URMC as a post-doctoral fellow in the Integrated Care Family Track, with a focus in primary care psychology. I received excellent training during my internship year at URMC, and I chose to pursue a fellowship here due to its multitude of opportunities to train in domains relevant to working in integrated healthcare settings. I was especially attracted to the opportunities to develop skills in medical family therapy and medical resident education, and to enhance my clinical and professional skills working within an integrated primary care setting. I am confident that this fellowship program will prepare me to succeed as a psychologist in integrated healthcare settings.   
 
RamosJeremy Ramos, Ph.D
Integrated Care Family Track (Family Medicine / Geriatrics)
Syracuse University
 
The Integrated Care Family Track (Family Medicine / Geriatrics) Fellowship offers a strong backing in interdisciplinary communication, clinical care, and collaboration as a psychologist within different healthcare settings. I was particularly drawn to the opportunities to provide integrated primary care in an urban family medicine clinic and explore the ways physicians and medical students share information and interact with patients through the communication coaching program. This fellowship encourages development and utilization of biopsychosocial approaches to patient care and systems level thinking through both didactic and clinical experiences. The medical family therapy post-degree certificate program supports this growth while offering important exposure to how therapists from other disciplines think about interventions and case conceptualization. I am confident the ICF fellowship will prepare me for a career as an educator, clinician, researcher, and psychologist working within and across integrated healthcare systems.

I am thrilled to be completing my postdoctoral fellowship in the Child and Adolescent Track, Outpatient Focus. This fellowship program offers the flexibility to continue to hone my skills in providing treatment to autistic children and their families while providing me experiences to expand my competencies with other populations. In addition to being able to tailor my clinical work to meet my individual training goals, this fellowship provides me with the opportunity to engage in research and advocacy work. I am confident that this fellowship will prepare me to succeed in a professional career serving children and families.

I am thrilled to be a psychology postdoctoral fellow in the URMC Child and Adolescent Acute Care Track. This fellowship program offers diversified training experiences that will allow me to enhance my skills as a clinical psychologist in an inpatient setting.
