The CDD Postdoctoral Psychology Fellowship Program offers a unique training environment for postdoctoral psychology fellows who wish to advance their skills in a diverse, dynamic interdisciplinary setting.
The University of New Mexico (UNM) Center for Development and Disability (CDD) offers an advanced postdoctoral training program in Clinical Child Psychology. The CDD is a division within the Department of Pediatrics, at the University of New Mexico Health Sciences Center (HSC), and the UNM School of Medicine (SOM). The CDD is one of 68 University Centers for Excellence in Developmental Disabilities in Education, Research and Service (UCEDD’s) in the country. The CDD is physically located in Albuquerque, New Mexico and serves all cities and counties in the state.
The CDD Postdoctoral Psychology Fellowship Program offers a unique training environment for postdoctoral psychology fellows who wish to advance their skills in a diverse, dynamic interdisciplinary setting. CDD faculty and staff range from psychologists, clinicians of many disciplines, medical providers, educators, researchers and self/family advocates. As the only UCEDD in the state, the CDD leads in service provision, advocacy and training around issues of disability across the lifespan in New Mexico. Given the cultural diversity of the state, fellows who train at the CDD have the opportunity to provide clinical services in an underserved, rural state with a diverse, underrepresented population. The CDD has a breadth of clinical, training/consultation, research programs and initiatives. Fellows are encouraged to explore the extensive menu of rich opportunities available through the CDD and develop their niche of expertise.
