Psychology

Residents who work with us gain valuable experience working with diverse populations while solidifying their skills in empirically-supported assessment and treatment approaches in both community and hospital-based settings.

We offer two full-time positions which last a total of 12 months. The program provides residents with a planned sequence of training experiences and activities, offering exposure to a variety of problems and adult populations.

Note: The Fraser Health Residency in Clinical Psychology is currently accredited by the Canadian Psychological Association

All primary supervisors are Registered Psychologists in good standing with the College of Psychologists of British Columbia and each supervisor has at least two years of clinical experience since their initial registration. A minor amount of supervision may be provided by colleagues in other disciplines to meet a resident’s needs, in a manner consistent with Canadian Psychological Association (CPA) and Association of Psychology Postdoctoral and Internship Centers (APPIC) standards.

The residency is 12 months in duration, beginning the day after Labour Day in September and continuing until the end of August, the following year.

Benefits include an annual stipend of $42,250, 15 paid vacation days, 10 paid sick leave days, professional development, travel education fund, and extended health insurance.
