10 | Federal Bureau of Prisons- MCC Chicago (10/27/2022) | Chicago, IL | www.bop.gov | Bianca Vigil, PsyD | MCC Chicago has a strong and long-standing forensic mission. The primary forensic questions which require assessment are most frequently related to competency to stand trial and criminal responsibility. A variety of other forensic questions are asked, but on a less frequent basis. Due to the long history of forensic examinations and strong team of evaluators, the BOP has recently tasked MCC Chicago with an additional mission; Jail Based Competency Restoration. This program is designed to increase the treatment capacity of the BOP, enabling the agency to address the treatment needs of those identified with serious mental illness in a timely manner. This program is expected to roll out in early 2023. The primary focus for the postdoctoral fellowship will be on learning and conducting forensic evaluations for the federal court system. All evaluations will be conducted under the expertise and supervision of a licensed psychologist. Evaluations completed throughout fellowship training will vary in terms of intensity and complexity. The evaluations may include competency to stand trial, criminal responsibility, competency restoration, violence risk assessments, and commitment for treatment. The evaluations will involve conversing with court personnel regarding forensic cases, obtaining collateral information, facilitating forensic notifications, conducting clinical interviews, learning the administration of unfamiliar tests (forensic assessment instruments), administration and interpretation of test batteries, conducting forensic interviews, reviewing collateral information, documentation of forensic contacts, and integrating all data into forensic reports. Fellows will develop a strong understanding of federal case law, and learn to apply these various legal standards to the referral questions from federal jurisdictions across the country. Emphasis will be placed on the preparation of written reports which are thorough, yet clear, concise, and relevancy-focused. All reports submitted will be cosigned by a licensed psychologist. Fellows will have the opportunity to participate in testimony preparation with forensic psychologists, observe testimony of forensic psychologists, and potentially testify in federal court hearings/trials. Throughout the fellowship experience, a key focus will be on strengthening written and verbal communication within a forensic context. Trainees can expect to conduct an average of 20 forensic evaluations during their postdoctoral fellowship. The main goal of the postdoctoral fellowship is to develop independent psychologists with specialized knowledge in conducting forensic evaluations for the Federal Court System. | Yes, $73,611 (based on federal pay scale for FY2022) | November 15, 2022 | No | Yes | ||||||||||||||||||

14 | Federal Bureau of Prisons: Commitment and Treatment Program- Butner | Butner, NC | www.bop.gov | Joseph Zonno, PhD | The Federal Correctional Institution in Butner (FCI I), North Carolina, activated in 1976 and was widely viewed as an advanced correctional facility specifically designed to provide cutting-edge psychiatric and psychological treatment, as well as forensic evaluation services, to federal offenders. Following the enactment of the Adam Walsh Child Protection and Safety Act of 2006, the agency appointed FCI I Butner to house the Commitment and Treatment Program (CTP) for sexually dangerous persons. The mission of the CTP is to protect the public through the assessment and secure confinement of civilly committed sexual offenders and administration of a treatment program to mitigate sexual dangerousness. Offenders are civilly committed as “sexually dangerous to others” when the Court determines the offender suffers from a serious mental illness, abnormality, or disorder, as a result of which he or she would have serious difficulty in refraining from sexually violent conduct or child molestation if released. CTP inmates may be any security or custody level, to include inmates designated as high security and max custody. CTP Forensic Services includes a team of highly specialized forensic psychologists performing evaluations of sexual dangerousness, as well as annual reassessments of dangerousness following an offender’s civil commitment as a sexually dangerous person. Additionally, CTP Forensic Psychologists spend approximately half of their time completing a variety of more traditional court-ordered forensic evaluations of federal offenders, including competency to proceed and mental state at the time of offense. The primary focus for the postdoctoral fellowship will be on learning and conducting forensic evaluations for the federal court system. All evaluations will be conducted under the expertise and supervision of a licensed psychologist. Evaluations completed throughout fellowship training will vary in terms of intensity and complexity. The evaluations may include competency to stand trial, criminal responsibility, competency restoration, violence risk assessments, and commitment for treatment.

There may be opportunity for court testimony or observation of court testimony. The fellow will be expected to carry their own caseload of evaluations while being supervised by a member of the Forensic Evaluation Team. Post-Adjudication Evaluations and Risk Assessment/Management: The risk assessment and management component mainly involves the assessment of those acquitted Not Guilty by Reason of Insanity (NGRI) throughout various points in the legal process. Once an individual is acquitted NGRI, there are several evaluations that are court ordered to include Temporary Custody Evaluations and Initial Analysis of Risk Report. These evaluations focus on risk assessment and need for inpatient hospitalization. If hospitalized after these initial evaluations, the NGRI acquittee participates in treatment to progress through the gradual release process that is followed by the state of Virginia. This includes a “demonstration” model of clinical risk management, where the acquittee is afforded the opportunity to demonstrate their capability for functioning at increasing levels of community access. The postdoctoral fellow will function as part of a multidisciplinary treatment team for the assessment and treatment of NGRI acquittees. This will largely involve risk assessment and management through the completion of privilege requests and conditional release reports pursuant to the gradual release process. The postdoctoral fellow will also be assigned Annual Continuation of Confinement and Second Opinion Evaluations that may be ordered by the court throughout the treatment process. There may be opportunity for court testimony or observation of court testimony. Within the various clinical roles, the postdoctoral fellow will also learn about the larger system of care in Virginia and may collaborate with team members for appropriate aftercare planning as patients return to the community. In addition to serving in clinical roles, the postdoctoral fellow has the opportunity to participate in research efforts throughout the hospital. This may be especially relevant for those individuals with interests in public policy and systemic intervention. Didactics The ESH postdoctoral training program will also include didactic and caselaw seminars. Weekly seminars will be held focusing on various forensic issues including violence risk assessment, assessment of malingering, ethical considerations, psychology in the courtroom, insanity, competence to stand trial, other types of forensic evaluations and civil areas relevant to work in the field of forensic psychology. Caselaw seminar focuses on landmark cases at both state and federal levels that set standards for the practice of forensic psychology and guidelines for conducting court ordered evaluations. Postdoctoral fellows will be expected to present summaries of assigned cases during this seminar. Postdoctoral fellows will have access to various trainings throughout the state. The postdoctoral fellow will be expected to participate two trainings offered by the Institute of Law Psychiatry and Public Policy at the University of Virginia. The Basic Forensic Evaluation: Principles and Practice, a five-day course, is designed to provide foundational, evidence-based training in the principles and practice of forensic evaluation generally and specific to the Code of Virginia. The postdoctoral fellow will also be expected to participate in the Assessing Risk for Violence in Clinical Practice, which is designed to provide an overview of risk assessment, risk factors, risk communications and report writing. These trainings satisfy the training requirement outlined in Virginia Code in order to be included on the Commissioner Appointed list of evaluators.

You’ll receive advanced training in both forensic mental health assessment (FMHA) and mental health policy. You’ll have two six-month clinical rotations: (1) the Second Judicial District Court Rotation and (2) the Private Practice Rotation. You’ll also devote one day per week to working with the New Mexico Behavioral Health Services Division to gain policy experience. Second Judicial District Court: Under the leadership and supervision of New Mexico Court officials and licensed forensic psychologists, you will conduct court-ordered competency to stand trial evaluations for pre-trial defendants in New Mexico’s Second Judicial District Court. You’ll learn from different psychologists in order to experience both a breadth of style and diversity of forensic practice. You’ll also get to perform an array of tasks, including: selecting, administering, scoring, and interpreting psychological tests; authoring forensic evaluation reports; proving expert consultation to the Court; providing testimony and/or recommendations in court cases and hearings; and providing peer consultation/supervision. Notably, all competency evaluations that you conduct will be court-ordered, and thus are not private referrals by either defense attorneys or prosecuting attorneys. This setup allows you to practice conducting and completing competency evaluations in an objective and impartial fashion, without concern about the influence of adversarial allegiance. It is particularly advantageous during training because you can focus fully on honing and mastering evaluative skill under conditions ideally suited to emulate best practices in FMHA. All of your evaluation reports shall comply and be in accordance with the State of New Mexico’s Interagency Behavioral Health Service Requirements and Utilization Guidelines, New Mexico state statutes, national professional standards, and applicable court rules and law. Private Practice Rotation: During the Private Practice Rotation, you will devote the majority of your clinical time to working with private practice forensic psychologists. Most often, the evaluations you will be conducting will be attorney-retained. You will complete a variety of criminal and civil forensic evaluations under the leadership and supervision of UNM faculty and licensed forensic psychologists in the community. Common referral questions include mitigation for sentencing, criminal responsibility, future dangerousness, psychological damages/personal injury, pre-employment, disability, and fitness for duty. You’ll see for yourself how private practice psychologists approach and manage their work, and gain insight into the difference between forensic mental health evaluation in private versus public settings. You’ll also gain experience conducting forensic evaluations in multiple settings in both urban and rural areas, including correctional, psychiatric hospital, and private practice settings. During this rotation a minority of your clinical time will still be devoted to conducting competence to stand trial evaluations in the Second Judicial District Court. New Mexico Behavioral Health Services Division: You will assist New Mexico Behavioral Health Services Division (BHSD) efforts on various policy-related issues. Typical activities include facilitating the competency evaluators learning community, reviewing behavioral health bills for proposed legislation, drafting white papers on mental health-related topics, and assisting with program development and implementation. Acting in this capacity, you’ll have a unique opportunity to learn about and be involved in policy and the intersection of the criminal justice system and the mental health system at the systemic or organizational level. You will also consult and build relationships with state and court employees and will develop and hone skills in communication, leadership, and administration. Additional Educational/Professional Development Opportunities: Helping to advance the field is a paramount duty of any forensic psychologist. Fellows will be expected to help disseminate knowledge of forensic psychology via scholarly activities. These activities might include presenting to various ECHO groups (such as CIT-ECHO, with police officers the primary audience); providing didactic trainings to learners in the Department and University (medical residents, psychology interns, undergraduates); presenting at conferences; working on a publication; etc. When time allows, Fellows will also have opportunities to attend additional training offered through the Department—such as Grand Rounds—or various trainings offered via the Division of Community Behavioral Health. | Yes. Stipend for the year is in accordance with NIH guidelines. FY 2021 guidelines provide for a salary of $53,760.00. You also receive benefits (PTO, sick time, paid holidays, winter break, medical insurance). Funding to attend a professional conference may be available, pending approval. | January 7th, 2022 (Friday) | Yes (2021-2025) | Yes | ||||||||||||||||||

Forensic mental health assessment in criminal court matters is the major area of study. All Fellows conduct evaluations on competence to stand trial, criminal responsibility and abnormal condition of mind, and violence risk assessment with adult defendants. Fellows have the opportunity to conduct evaluations for at least one other type of referral question. Fellows work with and learn from at least three different supervisors with advanced training and experience in forensic mental health assessment. In addition, Fellows participate in supervision with the Training Director focused on their overall training plan and professional development. Fellows receive education on the legal, ethical, and practice foundations of forensic psychology through weekly didactic seminars as well as other formal training experiences. The didactic series is broken into two primary sessions: one on forensic mental health and one on landmark mental health case law. Ten percent of Fellows’ time is reserved for research-related activities.

66 | **UAD: Uniform Acceptance Date. The UAD for forensic postdocs is February 25, 2019, which means that selected candidates will be notified on or before this date. Selected candidates will not be required to accept an offer before this date. This is designed to allow candidates to consider multiple offers without pressure to accept one offer before another is given. Please note that the uniform acceptance process for forensic postdocs is distinct from the APPIC notification process. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||
