Postdoctoral Psychology Residency Programs
The postdoctoral residency program at the Kaiser Permanente
Medical Centers (KPMC) in Northern California has a long and
intricate history. Nicholas Cummings, Ph.D., led the development
of psychology in the 1960’s within KPMC. Beginning in
the late 1960’s, several of the medical centers operated
postdoctoral programs on a semi-independent basis. During
the last fifteen years, under the leadership of Robin Dea,
M.D., there has been a major movement to regionalize and standardize
the mental health delivery system. It has since tripled in
size. Several new programs were developed under the initiative
referred to as the “model of care”. As a result
of this organizational maturation, the postdoctoral training
program has grown increasingly organized and extensively supported
by the KPMC. Under the leadership of Lloyd Linford, Ph.D.,
we have made a commitment to Evidence-Based Practice (EBP).
To this end, departments throughout the region have sent specialists
to meet regularly to develop EBP guidelines based on the most
current research for major psychological disorders, such as:
Depressive Disorders, Anxiety Disorders, and Eating Disorders.
These guidelines are published in manuals which every department
is expected to use in order to provide comprehensive and appropriate
treatment. The EBP literature is made available to all residents
and is considered part of the overall curriculum of the residency
program.
The system of postdoctoral residencies
is organized into six subregional consortiums, and each consortium
is an APPIC member. The North Bay consortium is in the process
of applying for APA accreditation. The regional administration
of the residency programs is overseen by John B. Arden, Ph.D.,
Director of Training, Northern California Region, Department
of Psychiatry, 3900 Lakeville Highway, Petaluma, CA. 94954;
E-Mail: john.arden@kp.org
The consortiums and programs function
within the largest HMO in the United States. Each medical
center provides a full range of services to thousands of patients.
Health care, as envisioned by KPMC, is an integrated system.
Providers from specialty areas such as pediatrics, internal
medicine, neurology, and psychology work together in a collaborative
manner to provide integrated treatment. The postdoctoral residents
train within this collaborative system. The postdoctoral residency
program is seen as an integral part of the overall healthcare
delivery system. Each medical center is comprised of different
departments, including Psychiatry, Chronic Pain, Neuropsychology,
and Chemical Dependency. The majority of our postdoctoral
residents are placed in outpatient departments of Psychiatry:
on our Adult, Child and Family Teams, and/or Chemical Dependency
Teams. All of the sites in each consortium are within easy
driving distance of each other. The program provides residency
