The focus of this Fellowship is to provide opportunities for individuals with supervised clinical practice to refine their clinical skills in preparation for functioning as independent practitioners in a university mental health setting. Fellows experience a supportive environment that encourages greater professional autonomy balanced with support and numerous opportunities for consultation with seasoned senior staff throughout the year.
Counseling Services is part of the Student Health and Wellness Center (SHAW) at the University of Wisconsin - Milwaukee (UWM) and serves a highly diverse student population. Clinical Fellows would join a multidisciplinary and dynamic team of health and mental health care professionals, including psychiatrists, social workers, marriage and family therapist, and licensed professional counselors. The Clinical Fellowship program at SHAW is part of our focused multidisciplinary training program. The primary role of the Clinical Fellow is to provide clinical services using their experiences from completion of an internship program or other relevant experience. “Learning by doing” is the philosophical foundation of the training as Fellows focus on the provision of individual and group psychotherapy to UWM students. The Fellows will also have the opportunity to hone their outreach and prevention skills as they work with a number of campus resources to support UWM students.
Access to formal training activities, including a weekly case conference, assists individuals with the integration and augmentation of former training and clinical practice experiences. Clinical Fellows maintain a flexible work schedule that includes working five days a week with occasional evening/weekends for outreach events. The Clinical Fellowship is a multidisciplinary training opportunity that may include representatives from counseling, marriage and family therapy, or social work fields. Our unit directly contributes to the retention and success of UWM students as they complete their educational aspirations to move on to successful and fulfilling lives. Come join our highly dedicated mental health team!
