The Edmonton Cross-Specialty Psychology Residency Consortium (ECPRC) is delighted to offer a clinical and counselling psychology internship training program that is hosted by The University of Alberta, Millard Health (WCB Alberta), the YWCA Edmonton, and Cross Cancer Institute (Alberta Health Services). Our main areas of training focus on clinical and counselling psychology across the lifespan, including specialized training in interventions, formal assessment, and health psychology.
All of our consortium sites have a long history of providing resident-level training. Millard Health previously maintained an independent CPA Accredited Doctoral internship program and each other site has been training PhD-level students and residents for decades. Our recent CPA-Accreditation affirms the high standard of training and organization that has sustained these institutions for years.
We have been accredited for a 6 year term by the Canadian Psychology Association, starting 2023-2024 and lasting until 2029-2030.
We have five residency spots across four sites, resulting in five tracks:
-
Cross Cancer Institute - Health Psychology (1 position)
-
Millard Health - Health Psychology (1 position)
-
UofA Clinical Services - Lifespan Community Mental Health (1 position)
-
UofA Clinical Services - Early Lifespan School and Community Mental Health (1 position)
-
YWCA - Community Mental Health (1 position)
Our residency is a 1600-hour commitment, which is full-time over 12-months from September to August. This meets the registration requirements for the College of Alberta Psychologists and CPA Accreditation (6th Ed.) standards.
CPA suggests a minimum of 600 practicum hours with 300 hours of direct client contact and 150 hours of supervision prior to residency. As this is a training year, we endeavour to support your development in novel areas. We also welcome applications from programs that are in the process of becoming CPA-Accredited. Please be sure to apply to the training program that interests you. If more than one is of interest, please apply to all that interest you.
