| We offer predoctoral internship training in clinical psychology and neuropsychology for graduate students in doctoral clinical psychology programs. The internship has been accredited by the Canadian Psychological Association since 1990. The training program can accommodate both English speaking and bilingual (French-English speaking) residents.
Our internship provides residents with a rich experience through active clinical work, intensive supervision, small group seminars, applied research, hospital specialty rounds, and interaction with other health professionals and trainees in Ottawa psychology internships. The focus is on developing the resident’s clinical skills in assessment, treatment and consultation. Residents are exposed to different supervisors, a variety of treatment models and a broad range of child clinical and health psychology problems through participation in several rotations during the year. Psychology staff members are active in teaching and training psychology interns and practicum students, as well as paediatric and psychiatric residents.
