As Oregons only medical and research university, OHSU blends education, research, patient care and community outreach to improve the well-being of people with health needs in Oregon and beyond. The Institute on Development and Disability (IDD) serves as an exemplary local, state, and national r esource for interdisciplinary clinical practice, research, education, policy development, and community service for persons with disabilities and chronic health needs. The OHSU main campus houses schools of medicine, nursing and dentistry, 2 tertiary care hospitals, several research centers, and a state of the art biomedical information and communication center.

The behavioral pediatrics postdoctoral position emphasizes consultation and treatment activities within a pediatric setting. Clinical activities will focus on behavioral pediatrics and integrated primary care. Behavioral pediatrics addresses the well child gap between general pediatric care and mental health services. Training will emphasize collaboration and clinical consultation within general pediatrics clinics, training of pediatric residents, and outpatient treatment emphasizing common behavior problems that present in outpatient pediatric medical settings (e.g., bedtime problems, tantrums, noncompliance, mealtime and feeding difficulties, delayed toilet training), behavior problems with a biological component (e.g., soiling), and biological/medical problems with a significant behavioral component (e.g., enuresis, tics). Opportunities for inpatient (medical) consultation and provision of traditional mental health services may be available.

The postdoctoral fellow will have access to a multitude of career development opportunities through the IDD, Department of Pediatrics, and OHSU, including a full range of didactic offerings. Further, opportunities to offer community based trainings to parents and service providers are available.
