Biopsychosocial Assessment and Treatment

As a postdoctoral fellow in pediatric psychology at a large tertiary medical center, Rainbow Babies and Children’s Hospital, in Cleveland, Ohio, I was assigned to the pediatric gastroenterology clinic for a rotation. My responsibilities included direct patient care with pediatric and adolescent patients, consultation with pediatric gastroentrologists, and the planning and implementation of a group for parents of children and adolescents with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). The collaboration was a positive experience for the physicians and myself.
