Ongwanada is the lead agency for the Kingston Residency Consortium (KRC). The KRC is designed to prepare a psychology resident to practice as a clinical psychologist and was developed as a “resident-first” training environment. This Canadian Psychological Association accredited program provides a breadth of training experiences with diverse populations across the entire lifespan. The residency has a focus on disability (both acquired and developmental), which may be temporary, permanent, or episodic and may arise or be identified at any point in a person’s life. Residents work with individuals experiencing physical, emotional, cognitive, social, learning and/or occupational challenges associated with illness, trauma, injury, or developmental differences.

The consortium prepares residents for the varied roles of a Clinical Psychologist and has also welcomed residents from programs with more specialized areas of focus, including child clinical psychology, developmental clinical psychology, and clinical neuropsychology.

The KRC unites the resources of five agencies across 10 rotations in the Kingston Community. Each provides a unique perspective on the role and skills required of a psychologist and offers a breadth of experiences. The five agencies are: Ongwanada, Queen’s University, Kingston Health Sciences Centre (Hotel Dieu Hospital), Providence Care Hospital and Limestone District School Board.

The KRC is endorsed and supported by the administration within each agency.

On May 23 & 24, 2024 the KRC had a CPA re-accreditation Site Visit and received a 5-year Accreditation through to 2028/2029.
