All learners, students and residents must complete the screening survey before each shift. Consider bookmarking the screening survey on your phone so it is easily available. After filling out the screening survey, instructions will be provided and you will be advised if you are clear to enter, or if additional follow up is needed.

You may be asked to show proof of the completed survey on entry or on the unit, to confirm you have cleared the screening.

Assignment selection

To conserve PPE, students will not be permitted to enter the building prior to their shift to research patient assignments, medications, procedures, etc. Instructors will be allowed on-site the evening before a day shift, or the morning before an evening shift, to help with assignment selection.

Residency Program

Anesthesia residents affiliated with the University of Ottawa, Queen’s University and from the Northern Ontario School of Medicine regularly rotate through the Department.

Residents are expected to present at the Department Grand Rounds (Wednesday) and also encouraged to do small research and review projects.

Staff closely mentor the Residents through their rotations at CHEO and this helps the residents to nurture both their clinical skills and knowledge.

Clinical Psychology

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. Many staff members hold appointments with the University of Ottawa or Carleton University.
