Program Overview
The postdoctoral fellowship training program is a year-long experience designed to meet all criteria required for licensure in Illinois.
ERC and Pathlight offers 2-4 postdoctoral fellowship positions per year, depending on the needs of the training site. The fellowship is designed to help fellows strengthen generalist skills while developing an area of specialization. Responsibilities include providing individual, family, and group therapy, case management duties and collaboration with a multi-disciplinary team. All fellows participate in individual and group supervision, didactic and specialty seminars, staff meetings and case conferences.
