Graduate and Post-doctoral Fellowships in Public Health Policy

The CIHR Strategic Training Program in Public Health Policy offers an exciting opportunity to become intellectually and actively involved in the complex tasks demanded by public health policymaking including: policy change; policy analysis; policy assessment; and policy structures and planning. This training program promotes a collaborative multidisciplinary community of researchers, trainees, policymakers, educators and practitioners that works and learns together to address – from a policy perspective – the key issues compromising the public’s health at local, regional, national and global levels. This CIHR training program is open to students accepted into a graduate program at the University of Toronto, and post doctoral fellows engaged in research at the University of Toronto or an affiliated hospital or research unit. Funding is available for eligible candidates at CIHR rates. Learn more about the CIHR Strategic Training Program in Public Health Policy.

Clinical Psychology Internship Program

The CAMH CPA/APA accredited Clinical Psychology Internship Program at the Centre for Addiction and Mental Health (CAMH) is a doctoral level training program and is restricted to doctoral psychology students currently enrolled in (and nearing the completion of) a clinical, counselling, or school psychology graduate program.  

The CAMH psychology internship program is not open to psychology students at the masters level.  CAMH does have a psychology practicum program open to students at the masters level (or doctoral students who have not reached the internship stage of their training).  For information on the CAMH psychology practicum program, contact Christine Courbasson, Ph.D., C.Psych., Director-of-Training, Clinical Psychology Practicum Program, 416 - 535-8501, Ext. 6620, Christine_Courbasson@camh.net.  Please see the attached link for information regarding the CAMH psychology practicum program.

The Psychology Internship Program provides clinical training in the context of a scientist-practitioner (Boulder) model.  Psychology Interns are expected to think critically about the services that they offer to individuals and to make clinical decisions based on objective data collected in the therapeutic/assessment context and informed by empirical research.

For the 2010-2011 academic year there are a total of nine internship positions. Psychology interns at CAMH are assigned to two major rotations that occur concurrently for the 12 month academic year. In addition, interns may seek additional training opportunities through informal minor rotations with other supervisors at CAMH.  CAMH will continue to accept applications for review for 2010-2011 academic year until November 15, 2009.

The Internship runs from September 1, 2010 to August 31, 2011.

Applications are due November 15th, 2009.

Post-Graduate Studies

• Postgraduate Year 1 Psychiatry Resident Training in Addiction Psychiatry
  Currently, the PGY I Addiction Psychiatry training consists of a four-week rotation. This is part of a 3 month block of psychiatry training that also includes Emergency Psychiatry and Consult Liaison Psychiatry. The overall the focus is on the developmental needs of the Resident i.e. developing core competencies of understanding the basics of addiction medicine and psychiatry, how to manage acute states of intoxication and withdrawal, approaches to treatment (e.g. pharmacology and motivational enhancement techniques), and experiencing different settings for treatment intensity (e.g. withdrawal management units, day treatment programs, out-patient clinics etc). Exposure to the above with processing from supervisors will focus on developing professional attitudes and behaviours for dealing with addiction.
