Applicants are shortlisted for interview on December 1, 2023. Virtual interviews will be scheduled between January 8 and 19, 2024. Details are outlined in the residency brochure.
As with application ratings, interview performance is rated primarily on the fit between applicants’ goals for their residency year and the opportunities available at The Royal. The level of breadth and/or depth of an applicant’s clinical experiences, particularly those experiences with a focus on evidence-based practices, is also considered given the applicant’s expressed interests in client populations served at The Royal. An understanding of how a residency at The Royal fits within the applicant’s overall objectives for their career is also an important factor.
The Royal’s CPA-accredited Predoctoral Residency Program in Clinical Psychology provides generalist training in a tertiary mental health care setting following the scientist-practitioner model. Residents complete one full year primary rotation (2 days/week) and two six-month secondary rotations (1 day/week). In addition, one half day per week is scheduled for the program evaluation project, and one half day per week scheduled for flex time to be used at the Resident’s discretion. Three Fridays per month are reserved for seminars, peer consultation and group supervision (Resident Group Day). One Friday per month is an “unscheduled work day”. Supervision of a practicum student, hospital committee work and other core requirements round out the residency year.
The Royal’s residency program uses a multi-track system.
The Royal offers three unique tracks and four positions total (one track with two positions). Applicants are welcome to apply to as many tracks as they would like, indicating their tracks of interest in one cover letter. All positions in The Royal’s Psychology residency program are filled in accordance with the Association of Psychology Postdoctoral and Internship Centres (APPIC) process and policies.
The Royal is welcoming applications to the following three tracks for the 2024-2025 residency year:
Secondary rotations will be available in the following clinical programs for the 2024-25 residency year:
