The Psychology Division in Harbor-UCLA Medical Center’s Department of Psychiatry is in its 27th year of training post-doctoral fellows in clinical psychology, and designated itself as a post-doctoral training program since 1984. The program received its APA accreditation in 1997, and was one of the first three APA-accredited post-doctoral training fellowships in the United States.

Our post-doctoral fellowship operates in a setting that is rich in the traditions of public service, education, and research. Harbor-UCLA Medical Center is a 340-bed general hospital owned and operated by the Los Angeles County Department of Health and Human Services and is affiliated with the David Geffen School of Medicine at UCLA. Its 300-square mile catchment area runs from the Los Angeles International Airpost to the ports of Long Beach and Los Angeles and encompasses 17 municipalities as well as unincorporated areas. Its service population of over 2.2 million people is economically, culturally, and ethnically divers, and the poor and underserved comprise the majority of the medical center’s workload.
