Job description
The Department of Rehabilitation at NYU Langone Brooklyn invites applications for a full time licensed psychologist specializing in rehabilitation/health psychology (inpatient focus) or neuropsychology (less emphasis, but can be outpatient focus). The position is ~80% inpatient, 20% outpatient.
Our inpatient 30-bed adult unit is a stroke rehabilitation Joint Commission accredited site. We often admit patients from NYU Langone's Comprehensive Stroke Center, certified by the Joint Commission as a comprehensive stroke center. We also care for patients receiving treatment for other neurological conditions, including traumatic brain injuries, multiple sclerosis, brain tumors, and neurosurgical populations.
Inpatient Responsibilities (80%):
Conduct brief neurobehavioral status exams to promote rehabilitation and psychosocial functioning and/or identify targets for psychological intervention.
Frequent targets for assessment on the inpatient service include behavior, emotional state, insight/self-awareness and coping skills.
Provide brief, evidenced based interventions. The focus of interventions will be to support adjustment, improve coping and/or cooperation and participation in all aspects of the rehabilitation program.
Consult with team members daily and summarize/aggregate collected data in verbal and/or written form to inform behavioral plans.
Participate in rounds, case conferences, and team meetings to discuss and evaluate the diagnoses and treatment/management of patients.
Deliver psychoeducational services to families.
Outpatient Responsibilities:
* The outpatient clinic is a half-day in-person service with option for additional hours virtually. The clinic is primarily utilized for follow up with patients previously known to the psychologist on the inpatient service; however, referrals from neurology are also frequently accepted. Nature/purpose of follow up will depend on the psychologist's area of specialization but may include:
Cognitive rehabilitation and/or individual psychotherapy to further support adjustment/coping following acquired brain injury
Health and behavior intervention(s) to modify factors directly affecting physiological functioning, health and well being, or specific disease-related problems
Comprehensive neuropsychological evaluations to clarify diagnosis and assist with identifications of additional resources, return to work, long-term planning, etc.
Of note, the psychology service has well established and integrated externship training program. Post training supervision experience and interest in training is preferred.
Salary range 110k-116k
