Trainees can also engage in collaborative, interdisciplinary projects alongside experienced professionals in the field.
  • If you are a student interested in research experience and mentorship, we encourage you to reach out to our team.

For those pursuing clinical training, we offer opportunities* across several levels, including:

  • Externships: Our externship program is geared toward graduate students in psychology or related fields who wish to develop specialized clinical skills working with children and families managing celiac disease.
  • Postdoctoral Fellowships: Postdoctoral fellows have the opportunity to further their clinical training while conducting research within the pediatric celiac disease population.
