Program Description

The mission of the Pre-doctoral Internship in Clinical Neuropsychology at Baycrest Hospital is to educate, train and evaluate our interns in order to support achievement of competence in evidence-based, clinical neuropsychological practice and research. 

Our scientist-practitioner model of training consists of the following components: (1) staged and sequential development of clinical skills in neuropsychological assessment, diagnosis, consultation, and intervention; (2) integration of science and practice through exposure to theoretical and applied research and methodologies in evidence-based practice; (3) mentorship by faculty to foster interns’ professional development.
