The primary focus of the Sanford Health Postdoctoral Psychology Residency Program is to strengthen the field of behavioral health by supporting the advanced training of postdoctoral psychologists seeking licensure and equipping them for the independent practice of psychology.
The residency program strives to prepare Postdoctoral Psychology Residents for increased competency in their chosen track with a strong emphasis on clinical excellence and scholarship in underserved communities. The program is designed to train Postdoctoral Psychology Residents through multiple, evidence-based experiences and focus areas, to function as independent, ethical, and culturally competent professional psychologists who have the capability of acting as an integral member of a multidisciplinary health delivery team, focusing on the evaluation and treatment of behavioral health disorders and the complex interplay between emotional and physical well-being.
Sanford Health Postdoctoral Psychology Residency Program offers four (4) one-year, full-time postdoctoral psychology residencies beginning and ending in mid-August/September. The start date for the 2025-2026 cohort is September 8, 2025.
