Program Description

The mission of the Pre-doctoral Internship in Clinical Neuropsychology at Baycrest is to educate, train and evaluate our interns in order to support achievement of competence in evidence-based, clinical neuropsychological practice and research. Our mission is accomplished through a model of training that consists of the following components: (1) staged and sequential development of clinical skills throughout the internship; (2) acquisition of critical thinking skills to evaluate evidence applicable to clinical practice; (3) integration of research into practice by development of skills in outcome measurement; (4) mentorship by faculty to foster the interns’ professional development. 

We value and model the close integration of care, research and education in all professional activities. We strive to provide our interns with the knowledge of current, best-practice in provision of neuropsychological services, exposure to evidence-based research in clinical neuropsychological practice and the opportunity to develop skills in intervention for cognitive disorders.  We aim to equip our interns with the core skills and competencies involved in delivery of neuropsychological services including professional consultation, assessment, diagnosis, intervention, clinical research and providing useful information to our clients.
