Julia Augenstern, Ph.D.
Integrated Care Family Track (Pediatric)
University of Virginia
I was thrilled to join the URMC Integrated Care Family Track in Pediatrics. This fellowship offers an unparalleled unification of my passions for serving children and families in accessible settings, systems thinking at the family, community, and healthcare levels, and contribution to medical education that promotes a compassionate, whole-person, and biopsychosocial approach. I could not have designed a better training program to support my development as a pediatric psychologist prepared to serve in multiple clinical, supervisory, advocacy, and leadership roles within an integrated healthcare setting. Fellows in this track also have the opportunity to engage in rich continuing education around medical family therapy while applying these skills in multiple interdisciplinary settings. Didactics and courses here have truly felt applicable to my everyday practice and professional development goals, allowing for lots of translational and hands-on learning. I am happy to connect with any prospective applicants to talk more about this fellowship!
