Kingston Internship Consortium 2011

The Kingston Internship Consortium is designed to prepare a psychology intern to practice as a Clinical Psychologist in the province of Ontario. In achieving this goal, this Canadian Psychological Association (CPA) accredited internship provides for a breadth of training experience for the intern. Recognizing that disabilities present different challenges to individuals at different stages of their development, the internship exposes the intern to a lifespan perspective. There are important differences among the agencies; the most apparent is the diversity of populations served. This diversity allows opportunities for training with clients with multiple types of disabilities and varied age groups.

To accomplish these goals, the Kingston Internship Consortium (KIC) unites the resources of four agencies and hospitals in the Kingston community, each of which provides a unique perspective on the role and skills required of psychologists. Four agencies are involved in the Kingston Internship Consortium are Ongwanada, the Queen's University Mental Health Team in Developmental Disabilities; Providence Care, and the Child Development Centre located at Hotel Dieu Hospital. The internship faculty and their employing agencies are affiliated with various academic departments at Queen's University, including the Department of Psychology, Faculty of Health Sciences, Department of Psychiatry, and the School of Graduate Studies and Research.
