Postdoctoral Residency

San Leandro is one of three training sites in the South East Bay Consortium (SEBC), along with Union City and Fremont.  Residents are required to complete 40 hours of training per week over a 12-month period.  The SEBC postdoctoral residency program provides advanced training in health service psychology in an integrated medical care center. One-half of the residents’ time is spent providing direct services to clientele through individual, group, and family therapies in addition to conducting psychological assessments. In addition to the required two hours per week of individual supervision provided by a licensed psychologist, residents participate in at least two hours of individual and/or group supervision, case conferences, team meetings, and weekly seminars.

Residents are encouraged to attend the regular training seminars held for the general staff.  In addition to a weekly seminar, and individual and group supervision at their training sites residents are expected to attend half-day regional seminars.  The first regional seminar of the training year focuses on Ethics and the Law.  This ensures all postdoctoral residents have a sound working knowledge of California’s professional code of conduct.  Other topics of regional seminars have included: Positive Psychology, Neuropsychology, Diversity, and Cultural Competence.  These seminars are developed by the Northern California Regional Training Director.
