Overview

Features

Clinical Psychology students at the University of Toronto are required to complete a sequence of practicum placements over the course of three years focused on readying them for professional practice, as well as ensure preparation for success in the APPIC Match.

The first practicum takes place internally at UTSC’s Health and Wellness Centre. This training experience is intended to provide students with requisite skills in interviewing techniques, reflective listening, rapport building, and other core clinical skills.

In addition, students run multiple group therapy interventions and provide cognitive-behavioural interventions for individual clients. Subsequently, students participate in the Greater Toronto Area (GTA) Practicum Match with the assistance of the Program Coordinator.
