MAC's services are center-based and in-home, and include speech and occupational therapy, assessment and diagnosis services, and individual and family therapy. At any given time, MAC serves approximately 370-400 clients throughout Minnesota at 17 centers located in Eagan, Eden Prairie, Maple Grove, Fridley, Vadnais Heights, Minnetonka, Woodbury, Duluth, Virginia, Mankato, Rochester, Red Wing, New Ulm, Medford, Hutchinson and Cambridge.   Description The Minnesota Autism Center Postdoctoral Fellowship is a full-time clinical position that prepares trainees for licensure as a psychologist in Minnesota. This involves some required components but allows for flexibility to create the experiences the fellow desires. Founded in a scientist-practitioner model, we have a diverse, passionate group of supervisory clinicians who enjoy training and working with postdoctoral fellows. We are a 501c3 non-profit organization, which provides staff the opportunity to apply for loan forgiveness. We view the fellowship as an important step of intensive training before independent practice, and we are dedicated to assisting you in this exciting transition. The postdoctoral fellowship is truly the culmination of many years of preparation and hard work and is meant to help prepare you for your first position as a psychologist. We are invested in you as a practicing psychologist and a person, and strive to make this year meaningful, enjoyable, and helpful as you launch your career.
