FELLOWSHIPS
Since
1989, we have graduated over 100 Fellows who are currently practising across
Canada and the United States.
The
main objective of the clinical fellowship program is leadership training. Children's
mental health is a young profession. Until very recently, we have
depended almost entirely on our leaders receiving training abroad, in the
United States and the United Kingdom. Our best students have not
had adequate advanced training opportunities in Canada.
Our
Fellowship Program aims to correct this. We offer one or two years
of focused post-qualification study to professionals of many disciplines. Fellowships
are full time and include seminars, clinical supervision and academic tutoring. Areas
of study include:
- Important new knowledge of emotional, social and cognitive development;
- Effective new intervention methods and opportunities to specialize in
a particular area of practice;
- Community consultation and community-wide approaches.
The
Research Fellowship Program provides an opportunity for post-graduates
to dedicate one to two years to research methodology. Areas of study
include:
- Infant mental health;
- Prevention of mental health problems;
- Community outreach;
- Language and cognitive disorders
Funding
is available for a limited number of psychologist and social work placements. Psychiatry
fellowships are self-funded through the Ontario Health Insurance Plan (OHIP)
billings. Psychiatry fellows require a valid license to practise
in the province of Ontario.
