Practicum training to build an understanding of the professional roles of a psychologist, open to PhD level students from Clinical Psychology Programs.
About / Working at The Royal / Placements, Residencies & Fellowships / Placements, Residencies & Fellowships / Psychology Practicum

The practicum training experience is designed to provide the student with the opportunity to gradually assume the professional roles of a psychologist, consistent with the scientist-practitioner model. These roles entail the integration of previous training and a further development of the scientific, professional and ethical bases of professional practice.

Eligibility Criteria

We do not offer clinical placements to undergraduate students.

Due to the number of requests for placements and the complexity of the clinical presentations of the populations we serve, we only offer practicum placements to Ph.D. level students from Clinical Psychology Programs.

Practicum Training Handbook

The Practicum Training Handbook has been developed by The Royal’s Psychology Training Committee. It is designed to provide an overview of pertinent organization policies and procedures and information regarding expectations concerning clinical training, clinical supervision and professional development. Practicum Supervisors and students are expected to know and follow the guidelines.
