Cleveland Clinic, one of the world’s most distinguished academic medical centers and ranked by U.S.
News & World Report announces a search for a Pediatric Psychologist specializing in
Gastroenterology Disorders in our growing Department of Pediatric Behavioral Health and
Neurosciences.
Primary Duties: This position will support our patients served through Pediatric Gastroenterology, a
nationally-ranked program and with a collaborative, multi-disciplinary team that addresses a wide
range of diagnostic conditions such as IBD, functional constipation, rumination, colorectal motility, and
liver disease. A focus is enhancing care of children with disorders of gut-brain interaction (DGBI). This
program emphasizes the integration of psychology within a collaborative team including physicians,
therapists, nurses, and dietitians. The primary role for this psychologist will be to provide outpatient
evaluation and treatment, as well as expand multidisciplinary team programs.
Other Opportunities: While this position is primarily focused on Pediatric Gastroenterology, there are
opportunities to build clinical integration in other medical divisions (e.g., Feeding Disorders Program).
This psychologist may also participate in supervising master’s level providers in outpatient treatment
settings. There are also opportunities for program development and integration of clinical and quality
improvement research.
Being a staff psychologist at the Cleveland Clinic also offers opportunities in program development
and implementation, and opportunities for teaching learners from a variety of health disciplines. Staff
may also participate in our Psychology Fellowship Program and our APA-accredited Psychology
Residency Program.
Faculty and Staff Development: Employment at the Cleveland Clinic allows for opportunities in
research and professional development. A faculty appointment at a rank commensurate with
experience is available at the Cleveland Clinic Lerner College of Medicine of Case Western Reserve
University. Board Certification via the American Board of Professional Psychology (ABPP), which is
required to advance from Associate Staff to Full Staff, is fully supported and funded by the Cleveland
Clinic Children’s Institute.
Strength in Diversity: Cleveland Clinic Children’s and the Department of Pediatric Behavioral Health
and Neurosciences values diversity and aims to create an equitable and inclusive work
environment in which all members are respected for their contributions. We believe that a staff
of diverse individuals makes us a stronger and more resilient team—and allows us to better meet the
varied needs of the patients in the surrounding communities. We encourage applicants from all
backgrounds to help us further our mission of caring for our patients in an atmosphere of inclusion
and integrity.
Qualifications: Doctorate in clinical, counseling, or school psychology, with APA approved

pediatric psychology setting.
