Postdoctoral Fellowship in Psychology- Bartram Park- Behavioral

About the Practice

As the largest pediatric clinic in Jacksonville, serving 11 locations with over 45,000 patients, Angel Kids Pediatrics believes that caring for children is a continual process, and should not be limited to just doctor office visits during regular business hours. We believe that by providing excellent medical care in a family and community-based environment, we can grow healthy children who will become healthy adults. We uphold the highest standards of a patient-centered medical home that provides quality, personalized and effective medical care as if each family was part of our own. Equity, innovation, and inclusion guide our growth and strategy. We are looking for individuals who are passionate about, and committed to leading efforts to provide culturally relevant care, reducing health disparities, and helping build a diverse and inclusive team environment.

Aim of the Fellowship
