Integrated Primary Care Psychologist Position

We are seeking individuals who are passionate about, and committed to, providing culturally responsive care, reducing health disparities, and helping build a diverse and inclusive team environment. Applicants who are bilingual (English-Spanish), bicultural, and represent diversity in all its forms are strongly encouraged to apply. The psychologists in these positions will join pediatric primary care teams comprised of physicians, medical residents, behavioral health providers, nurses, medical assistants, and care coordinators who provide team-based care to patients and their families.

Teaching, training, and mentoring are core values in our division and these efforts are supported and encouraged across all positions. We are committed to expanding the pathway to a diverse workforce and our educational efforts are grounded in and guided by a lens of health equity, diversity, inclusion, and cultural humility.

This role includes many opportunities to participate in program development, leadership, advocacy, and community outreach.
