USF CAPS POSTDOCTORAL FELLOWSHIP BROCHURE 2025-2026 TRAINING YEAR CAPS Anti-bias Statement and Commitment to Diversity At CAPS, we believe in the diversity of thoughts, ideas, and experiences, inclusive of race/ethnicity, color, gender, socioeconomic status, sexual orientation, language, national origin, religion, age, and intersecting identities. We affirm our commitment to recognize and address bias and oppression. We assist students by providing culturally sensitive mental health services and educational outreach that challenges oppressive and unjust forces and work to reduce injustice both within the University and broader community.

In addition to supporting these principles of diversity and inclusion, we recognize structural inequalities in society result in the differential access and distribution of power (economic, political, social, and cultural). We believe in the elimination of structural inequities and the establishment of policies that ensure equity and accountability for all.

We acknowledge that regardless of one’s own identities, individuals are at various points along a cultural awareness journey. We also understand that bias can be unconscious or unintentional and that inequity is the combination of social and institutional power plus prejudice. Oppression does not automatically mean that those involved intended negative impact; having conversations about this is necessary and requires courage, respect, compassion, and a willingness to tolerate discomfort.

As we aim to become an unbiased center and culturally inclusive, we: Aim to identify, discuss, and challenge issues of injustice and the impact it has on each of us Challenge ourselves to understand and correct inequities in order to be more purposeful in this process Explicitly and publicly affirm our identity as an anti-bias University entity Develop and work to implement strategies that dismantle bias within all aspects of our department, university, and society

USF CAPS POSTDOCTORAL FELLOWSHIP BROCHURE 2025-2026 TRAINING YEAR CAPS Training Diversity Statement Respect for diversity is a central value of both the University of San Francisco and CAPS and is consistent with the profession of psychology, as outlined by the American Psychological Association (APA)’s Ethical Principles and Code of Conduct (2002) and discussed in the Standards of Accreditation in Health Service Psychology (APA, 2015).

Counseling and Psychological Services is committed to the values of respect for diversity, inclusion, equity, and self-examination in a training environment of mutual respect. CAPS licensed staff and trainees are encouraged to examine their attitudes, assumptions, behaviors, and values and to develop understanding of and sensitivity to individual and cultural diversity while integrating such understanding into all forms of service delivery.

CAPS staff members have a commitment to ongoing learning that continues to enhance our work with “cultural, individual, and role differences, including those based on age, gender, gender identity, race, ethnicity, culture, national origin, religion, sexual orientation, disability, language, and socioeconomic status” (APA Ethics Code, 2002, Principle E, p.

1063).

Training staff will engage trainees in a manner respectful of their multiple cultural identities and provide equal access, opportunity, and encouragement inclusive of these identities. Training staff will examine their own biases and prejudices in the course of their interactions with trainees so as to model and facilitate this process.

In summary, CAPS training staff and trainees are committed to a training process that facilitates the development of professionally relevant knowledge and skills focused on working effectively with all individuals inclusive of demographics, beliefs, attitudes, and values. Consistent with the University’s mission, we welcome, expect, and encourage the pursuit of “a more inclusive community, which celebrates diversity and works toward justice.”

USF CAPS POSTDOCTORAL FELLOWSHIP BROCHURE 2025-2026 TRAINING YEAR Preparing Psychologists to Work with a Diverse Public Striving for multicultural competence is a central tenet in the services provided and clinical practice at CAPS. In support of the values and aims of our training program, we have adopted the APA's guidelines related to preparing trainees to effectively provide services to diverse populations. (See Preparing Professional Psychologists to Serve a Diverse Public.) APA’s statement was developed by the Education Directorate’s Working Group and approved by APA’s Board of Educational Affairs (BEA). In accordance with this position, we expect that trainees will develop and demonstrate effectiveness when working with diverse populations, including clients whose cultural identities, characteristics, and beliefs differ from those of their own. While we respect the right of trainees to maintain their personal belief systems, the training of professional psychologists who can serve a diverse public necessitates “personal introspection, exploration of personal beliefs, attitudes, and values, and the development of cognitive flexibility required to serve a wide diversity of clients.”

USF CAPS POSTDOCTORAL FELLOWSHIP BROCHURE 2025-2026 TRAINING YEAR Overview of the Fellowship Program Training Philosophy, Program Aims, and Competencies The USF Counseling and Psychological Services (CAPS) provides Postdoctoral training in Health Service Psychology (HSP) within a university counseling center context. Our strong commitment to training includes participation of all clinical staff. The training program assists fellows in enhancing and consolidating knowledge and skills while providing didactic and experiential opportunities that facilitate development of professional identities as psychologists. CAPS is consistent with USF’s Core value of having a commitment to the “full, integral development of each person,” by providing a training program that facilitates the development of ethical, competent psychologists who can function independently and make positive contributions to the profession. Best described as a practitioner model, an emphasis is placed upon grounding clinical practice in theory and research and the development of mentoring relationships with supervising psychologists.

CAPS is committed to a brief, time-limited therapy approach to clinical practice that is grounded in evidence-based treatment. We believe that the important aspects of training in brief therapy include: 1) an attitudinal shift on the part of the therapist, to see brief therapy as efficacious and oftentimes considered as the treatment of choice; 2) an exposure to a multiplicity of therapeutic frames and methods, with a focus on adapting them to brief work; 3) an insistence, to the extent possible, that therapeutic frame and method be fitted to the client rather than the reverse; 4) an integration of a multicultural perspective into both case formulation and an interactive approach to the client; and 5) an emphasis on continual practice in defining a focus with the client, and in orienting the therapy to that focus and its associated therapeutic goals.

Also in line with our sponsor institution’s “belief in and commitment to a diversity of perspectives,” our training in brief therapy is based on an integrationist approach. Our approach incorporates various theoretical models and interventions, while keeping in mind individual, cultural, and societal considerations. These ideal characteristics of a multicultural, integrationist approach to brief therapy are not simply actualized in some absolute fashion, even by experienced staff members. Rather, they represent orienting considerations that inform our work and training in an ongoing fashion. We see training as a process where we share our struggles and questions, our successes and failures, as a group. In the end, we are committed to assisting fellows in developing their own perspectives toward brief therapy and moving closer to the integration of evidence-based frameworks and methods with the goal of preparation for a Health Service Psychologist position in a university counseling center.

USF CAPS POSTDOCTORAL FELLOWSHIP BROCHURE 2025-2026 TRAINING YEAR The Postdoctoral fellowship program provides training over the course of the year.

Fellows continue to enhance and solidify the development of clinical skills required for the professional practice of health service psychology with advanced training and supervision in brief, time-limited individual psychotherapy, group therapy, crisis intervention and management, on-call coverage, triage assessment and intake evaluation, supervision, consultation, and outreach program development and delivery, and committee work. In addition, the Postdoctoral Fellow further develops administrative skills by participating in a specific training specialty track: Training Administration or Outreach.

The overarching aims of the training program are to: (1) Enhance and consolidate core clinical and counseling skills for entry level independent practice in Health Service Psychology; and (2) Foster attitudes and behaviors which strengthen a professional identity as a psychologist.

By the end of the training year, fellows will develop a level of competence, consistent with the following Profession Wide Competencies (PWC), for independent entry-level practice in health service psychology: a. Ethical and Legal Standards b. Individual and Cultural Diversity c. Professional Values, Attitudes, and Behaviors d. Communication and Interpersonal Skills e. Assessment f. Intervention g. Supervision h. Consultation and Interprofessional/Interdisciplinary Skills i. Research In addition CAPS Program Specific Competencies in Outreach and Crisis Response will be accomplished.

Fellows and their individual supervisors collaborate on the Reciprocal Supervision Agreement and Goals form to supplement the general goals of the fellowship for an individualized learning experience. An additional hour of individual weekly supervision is provided by another licensed Staff Psychologist, who functions as the Delegated Supervisor. Fellows submit video recordings to Primary and Delegated Supervisors each semester.In addition, supervision may include review of case notes or direct observation, depending on the needs and skill level of the Fellow.

Fellows participate in two and a half hours of weekly Group Supervision. During one of the meetings of group supervision (cohort), fellows present cases on a rotating basis for consultation and discussion.

USF CAPS POSTDOCTORAL FELLOWSHIP BROCHURE 2025-2026 TRAINING YEAR Evaluations Fellows receive and are encouraged to provide ongoing verbal and written feedback to CAPS licensed staff throughout the training year.

Evaluation of Postdoctoral Fellows Fellows are given feedback regarding their strengths and areas of growth in the course of supervision and a formal evaluation is provided at mid-year and at end-of-training year.

The format for this evaluation consists of the CAPS Psychology Postdoctoral Fellow Evaluation Form comprised of feedback from all supervisors. Both the Primary and Delegated supervisors meet with the Fellow together to discuss and review the evaluation and Fellows are provided with a signed copy of the mid-year and end-of-year evaluation.

Fellows are formally evaluated on a Likert scale from one to five for for each item on the CAPS Psychology Postdoctoral Fellow Evaluation form. It is expected that the Fellow will receive ratings of Level 3 at mid-year on elements contained in competencies. A rating below Level 3 at mid-year is considered below expectation. If a Fellow receives a rating of Level 2 at mid-year, the primary supervisor provides specialized attention to increase the Fellow’s functioning to the expected level of competency which may include remedial work. If a Fellow receives a rating of Level 1 at mid-year, the Training Director, in collaboration with the Primary Supervisor, develops and institutes a specific remediation plan.

It is expected that the Fellow will receive ratings at Level 4 at the end of year; If a Postdoctoral fellow receives a rating of below Level 4 on an overall Competency area on the final evaluation, the fellow will not successfully complete their fellowship. Per the Board of Psychology the hours could not be verified as “at or above the expected level of minimal competency.”

The Primary and Delegated Supervisors collaborate in the evaluation process, and the Primary Supervisor completes a single evaluation form, comprised of feedback from all supervisors. Both the Primary and Delegated supervisors meet with the Fellow together to discuss and review the evaluation.

Additionally, Fellows will receive feedback regarding their professional presentations, the Capstone Case presentation, and work relevant to their Specialty Track. CAPS adheres to the written procedures outlined by our Due Process and Grievance Procedures for disputed evaluations.

18

USF CAPS POSTDOCTORAL FELLOWSHIP BROCHURE 2025-2026 TRAINING YEAR Evaluation of Supervisors and Training Program Fellows evaluate their supervisors (mid- and end-of-training year), the Training Director (end-of-training year), and are requested to complete a formal evaluation of the program at the end-of-training year evaluation period and to provide feedback following each training seminar. This information allows CAPS to continue to adapt and refine the program, based on Fellows’ perceptions and needs.

The final evaluation consists of an individual exit interview with the Training Director. In addition to providing feedback on various aspects of the program, we would like your general comments (i.e., strengths/weaknesses, likes/dislikes) about the training experience as a whole. We welcome your comments and suggestions about any or all aspects of the program, including Orientation, training seminars, case conferences, supervision and clinical training, clinical caseload, groups, and outreach/consultation opportunities.

Problem Resolution Due Process and Grievance Procedures CAPS adheres to the written procedures outlined by our Due Process and Grievance Procedures for the effective resolution of problems, disputed evaluations, and problematic behavior. Fellows are informed of these procedures during Orientation, receive a copy during the first day of training, and are also encouraged to further review these guidelines and procedures as needed.

Dismissal from the training program involves the permanent withdrawal of all agency responsibilities and privileges. Either administrative leave or dismissal would be invoked in cases of severe violations of the APA Code of Ethics, or when imminent physical or psychological harm to a client, staff member, or other trainee is a major factor, or the Fellow is unable to complete the training program due to physical, mental, or emotional illness. The Senior Director will make the final decision about dismissal or administrative leave in accordance with University policy.

Fellow Responsibilities and Rights Each CAPS staff member and Fellow has the responsibility to foster an environment where the right to be treated with dignity and respect is preserved.

Supervision Agreement and Verification of Experience The California Board of Psychology mandates that the BOP Supervision Agreement must be completed and signed by the Supervisor(s) and Fellow prior to the commencement of supervised professional experience. Once the fellowship has been completed, the BOP Verification of Experience Form will be completed and signed by the Training Director. It will be given to you in a signed/sealed envelope, along with an original of the Supervision Agreement Form, to provide to the California Board of Psychology. CAPS will keep copies in the personnel files and you will receive original copies for your own records.

Responsibilites of Supervisors It is the responsibility of supervisors to meet with their supervisee for the appropriate and contracted amount of supervision time each week (10% of total SPE for the week), be available at all times for consultation as needed, and adhere to all requirements of supervisors outlined in the BOP Supervision Agreement. Supervisors need to ensure that their supervisee is providing competent care to all clients and following the established ethical guidelines of the profession.
