Program Description

This Psychology Residency position provides senior level doctoral students with training opportunities to enhance the development of the core competencies required for psychologists. These opportunities include direct training in assessment, evaluation, intervention, consultation, and research. There are two fulltime residency positions, which typically begin the first working day after the Labour Day Holiday (first Tuesday in September). This Residency opportunity offers an annual stipend of $51,000 (Canadian).  Each Psychology Resident completes a rotation in the CHILDtrack and the ADULT track for a lifespan approach to clinical work.  We are looking for senior level doctoral candidates who have completed all doctoral coursework and practicum in assessment and intervention, and have defended their dissertation (or have a date set).  Our ideal psychology residents are knowledgeable about autism and developmental disabilities.
