Department Overview

The Division of Gastroenterology and Hepatology at OHSU specializes in the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of digestive and liver diseases. Our physicians and advanced practice providers are nationally recognized leaders in education, research, and clinical care. As the only academic medical center in Oregon, we have a collaborative relationship with primary care and subspecialty providers across the state and Pacific Northwest.

Function/Duties of Position

Specialized expertise in GI psychology will be applied in diagnosis and treatment, given the profound interrelationship between GI symptomatology and mental health, and the direct impact of pharmacologic neuromodulation on gut function.

 

This Psychology position will be fully embedded within the GI division with an expectation of and opportunities for division-specific conference attendance, presentations at local and regional meetings and collaboration with national GI psych experts.

Required Qualifications

  • Doctoral degree (PhD/PsyD) in Psychology, supervised experience, and passing the Examination for Professional Practice in Psychology (EPPP)
