GuideStar Eldercare is offering a multi-dimensional, outpatient geriatric psychology post-doctoral fellowship in which Fellows (PhD / PsyD) will work alongside licensed psychologists in providing on-location behavioral health and neuro-cognitive services to residents of long term care facilities.

Cognitive Assessment
