Hamilton Health Sciences (HHS) is located in Hamilton, Ontario, Canada. Home to more

than more than half a million residents, Hamilton is situated at the western tip of Lake

Ontario midway between Niagara Falls and Toronto. It is the site of McMaster University,

known internationally for its innovative medical school and research programs and the home

of evidence-based practice. Hamilton has a rich cultural community with its own

professional theatre company, art gallery, and professional sports teams. The Royal

Botanical Gardens and the Bruce Trail are within minutes of the hospital sites.

Visit www.hamilton.ca for more information about the city of Hamilton.

Hamilton Health Sciences (HHS) is comprised of a family of six hospitals and a cancer

centre, serving more than 2.2 million residents in Central South and Central West Ontario.

Each of the facilities offers specialized services that together make HHS one of the most

comprehensive health care systems in Canada. All of the hospitals at Hamilton Health

Sciences are teaching hospitals affiliated with the Faculty of Health Sciences at McMaster

University. This allows patients to benefit from innovative treatments/research and staff and

students to actively participate in research and teaching endeavours. The entire corporation

is committed to a client-centered, evidence-based approach to health care.

The internship in Clinical Neuropsychology is mainly based out of Hamilton General Hospital

(HGH), which is recognized as a regional centre of excellence in cardiovascular care,

neurosciences, trauma and burn treatment. The regional Adult Acquired Brain Injury

Program and General Psychology Consultative Service are located in the recently built state-of-the art Regional Rehabilitation Centre (RRC) on-site at HGH. The Integrated Stroke

Program, also at the HGH in the main building and in the RRC, is a regional service offering

specialized inpatient acute care treatment and rehabilitation for adults and seniors with

cerebrovascular events. Interns also become involved in rotations at McMaster Childrens

HospitalMcMaster University Medical Centre (MUMC) site, where pediatric care and

womens health services are offered. Some educational opportunities and minor rotations

are available at the Chedoke site of HHS.

Psychology staff at Hamilton Health Sciences, currently including 22 psychologists, 17

psychometrists and 17 behavioural therapists, are integral members of interdisciplinary

teams with diverse backgrounds, such as clinical psychology, school psychology,

neuropsychology, applied behavioural analysis, rehabilitation, and health psychology. Mostof the psychologists and many of the non-doctoral psychology staff have cross appointments

with McMaster University in the Faculty of Health Sciences. The internship provides an

invaluable opportunity to learn from and interact with students, clinicians and faculty in

medicine, pediatrics, psychiatry, social work and other allied health disciplines (e.g., speech/

language pathology, physiotherapy and occupational therapy).

HHS Vision: Leaders in exemplary care, innovation and academic excellence.


3/10

There are two internship programs: Clinical Neuropsychology (two positions) and Clinical

Child Psychology (2 positions in the Child and Family track and 1 position in the Autism

track). Details regarding the Clinical Psychology program are contained in a separate

brochure, HHS Predoctoral Internships in Clinical Child Psychology.

The Clinical Neuropsychology interns are assigned to core rotations in the Adult Acquired

Brain Injury Program (ABIP), in the Integrated Stroke System (ISS), and in Adult Consultation

Neuropsychology. Typically, they spend about 1.5 to 2 days per week devoted to each of

these core areas for about 5-6 months. In addition, interns have opportunities to carry

short-term and long-term treatment cases, often through the ABIP program, over the course

of the entire internship by a designated 1 day per week rotation devoted to treatment. They

are also briefly exposed to neurodevelopmental issues through a minor rotation in Pediatric

Neuropsychology, which typically is about 1 to 2 days per week for about 3 months. In

addition, interns usually have the opportunity to select 1 other minor rotation in areas of

interest (e.g., extension in Pediatrics, Chronic Pain, Diabetes, Specialized Developmental

and Behavioural Services, etc.), which typically are 1 to 2 days per week for about 3

months. Rotations and educational opportunities are available to interns, provided they

have the necessary educational background and a qualified supervisor is available.

Sample Schedule:

Interns typically spend the first month reviewing and ensuring that they are trained up and

efficient in the administration and scoring of a variety of psychometric tools plus other

testing procedures, then move on to their various rotations. Although there are some core

requirements, within each of the rotations, interns may have the opportunity to set goals

and select experiences with their supervisors that meet their particular needs and

interests. Through the primary core rotations and minor rotations, interns will be exposed to

a wide variety of assessment and treatment experiences in diverse patient clinical and

cultural populations and have the opportunity to work with a variety of Psychologists,

interdisciplinary professionals on hospital teams and possibly community agencies. The

Clinical Neuropsychology internship program provides a supervised opportunity for theintegrated application of the theoretical, clinical, professional, and ethical knowledge and

skills acquired during graduate training. Interns are expected to develop core competence

in the neuropsychological and psychological assessment and treatment of patients with a

range of medical, psychiatric, neurological, behavioural, and emotional difficulties, and

more highly developed and independent skills in evidence-based psychological approaches.

Supervision in the acquisition and refinement of assessment, formulation, and therapeutic

skills is available in behavioural, psychodynamic, cognitive-behavioural, group dynamics,

neuropsychological, and rehabilitation principles and techniques.

Program Philosophy


4/10

Psychologists at Hamilton Health Sciences are active in research activities and interns arerequired to contribute to research or program evaluation during their internship year.Interns can become involved in ongoing projects or develop an idea of their own. Interns arealso required to critically review research and best practice guidelines as applicable to theirclinical cases in the various rotations. Some examples of past research include: designing adatabase, administering experimental or screening tools and comparing results with astandardized full battery, participating in program development, completing data analysesusing archived data, conducting interviews or short batteries for research protocols, etc.

Evidence-based Practice & Research Opportunities

Page 42009 Program

The internship positions are currently funded at just over $36,000 per year. Vacation pay

and benefits are paid in lieu of paid time off according to HR policies for temporary full-time

staff (i.e., interns receive a percentage paid out for each hour worked in place of vacation

time and benefits). Interns are provided with dedicated office space and technology and use

of current professional assessment materials and equipment.

In addition to the clinical rotations, interns are expected to participate in regular educational

and research experiences during their internship year. A half-day per week is devoted to

these activities. Interns have an opportunity to come together with the interns from the

Clinical Child Psychology program and other learners (e.g., psychiatry residents) for a weekly

seminar series. A wide variety of topics are presented by staff Psychologists/Psychiatrists

and guest speakers from across the city (e.g., evidence-based clinical formulations, suicide

risk assessment, structured diagnostic interviewing, supervision, prep for the oral exams,

psychopharmacology, etc.). A regular series of ethics seminars are also held for interns to

provide an opportunity to discuss professional issues and jurisprudence and guide them in

preparation for the registration process with the College of Psychologists.

The Clinical Neuropsychology interns have other training and educational opportunities

specifically related to the neurosciences. This may include the availability of a seminar

course in behavioural neuroanatomy developed by one of the senior staff

neuropsychologists and opportunities to participate in a wide variety of other clinical and

education rounds in psychiatry, neurosciences/trauma and rehabilitation held throughout

the hospital system on a regular basis (e.g., Psychiatry Grand Rounds, Acute Stroke Rounds,

Neurology Teaching Series, Neuroscience Rounds, etc.). Interns may also enroll in the

McMaster University's Clinical Behavioural Sciences (CBS) program (part of the continuing

Faculty of Health Sciences education program), which provides allied health professionals

who are currently assessing and/or treating clients an opportunity to enhance theirknowledge and skills in individual, group, family and community assessment and

intervention. There are specialized courses in behaviour analysis, rehabilitation, family

therapy, group therapy, cognitive behavioural therapy, interpersonal therapy, psychodynamic

therapy, psychological testing and supervision. These courses make use of multidisciplinary

small-group learning, selected readings, and/or assignments. Occasionally an intern

registers for one CBS course during the internship year (note that the course is completed

on the interns own time and there is a cost for the course). Courses are taught by staff

within the hospital system that have cross appointments with the university. Courses are

typically held weekly for 7-12 weeks and are divided into different levels.

Program Coordination/Supervision

In conjunction with the Director of Training, the Program Coordinator (who is a registered

Psychologist) is responsible for coordinating the interns schedules to ensure depth and

breath in their training and opportunities to meet the core requirements in assessment,

treatment and consultation. Interns interests and goals are taken into consideration foroptional rotations, though this depends to some extent on availability of supervisors/

opportunities in any given year. Supervisors for the various rotations will discuss objectives

and identify opportunities available within their rotations to offer interns a tailored

experience and work with them on their individualized goals/interests for the internship

year. The Director of Training and Program Coordinator ensure that the required depth and

breadth of experience is provided, that interns and their supervisors complete regular

progress evaluations, and that the intern's workload is manageable. A minimum of four

hours of direct supervision per week is provided. The aim is for interns to work toward

greater levels of independence in their skill set, diagnostics and clinical practice across

rotations. Interns will have exposure to a wide variety of supervisor styles and have

opportunities to develop their own supervision skills in interactions with non-registered

psychology staff and possibly supervising clinical psychology graduate students who are

completing practicum placements at Hamilton Health Sciences. Interns themselves areprovided supervision in this regard and seminars are offered on this topic.

Interns receive at

least 4 hours of

direct supervisionweekly throughout

internship. The aim

is for interns to work

toward greater levels

of independence in all

aspects of their

psychological practice

across rotations.

Evaluation

Clinical Neuropsychology ProgramCore Rotations

Adult Acquired Brain Injury Program (ABIP)

Dr. Diana Velikonja, C.Psych. Dr. Hiten Lad, C.Psych.

The ABIP, located in the regional rehabilitation centre (RRC) at the HGH, is a provincially

established service designed to provide inpatient and outpatient treatment and continuity of

care to adults who have sustained brain injuries (not limited to trauma). It is comprised of

an inpatient ward served by two multidisciplinary teams, a day hospital, and a community

services program as well as an outpatient clinic. The psychologists, neuropsychologists, and

psychometrists on the interdisciplinary teams provide assessment (behavioural, emotional

and neuropsychological), consultation, and direct treatment intervention (behaviour

management, cognitive retraining, counseling, group therapy) and are available to provide

supervision for the interns. A brief description of the services offered under ABIP follows.

Opportunities maybe available for

interns to develop

their supervision

skills in interactions

with non-registered

psychology staff and

practicum students.

Regular formal review and evaluation of each intern's progress is scheduled four timesduring the course of the program (mid and final for each of the core rotations). Interns areexpected to complete all of the core requirements defined for each of their rotations along withthe broader core competency areas (unless they have demonstrated previous proficiency in anarea or have been unable to complete a requirement based on availability of the experience).Each of the intern's supervisors rates the intern on a range of functional competencies (e.g.,assessment, consultation skills) and foundational competencies (e.g., interpersonal skills,

ethics). Supervisor evaluations must be rated as meeting expectations according to thecompetency definitions by the end of the rotation. During the evaluation meeting, plans foropportunities and experiences to meet core competencies and develop skills in the otherrotations will be discussed. If required, specific recommendations to remedy deficiencies in theprogram or in the intern's progress are made. Summary results are forwarded to the graduatedepartment of the student's home university where appropriate. At the end of a rotation, theinterns provide formal evaluation of the program and supervisors.


6/10


The Community Re-integration Unit (CRU) is an in-patient setting where interns work within a

multi-disciplinary team consisting of a neuropsychologist, physiatrist, neurologist, speech-

language pathologist, occupational therapist, physiotherapist, social worker, behaviour

therapist, rehabilitation therapist, and registered nurses. Interns are responsible for

conducting neuropsychological evaluations to assist with treatment and discharge planning,

attending and presenting at case conferences, providing feedback regarding patientsneurocognitive, emotional and behavioural status at family meetings, developing scripts to

assist with rehabilitative efforts, and sometimes conducting individual treatment using

various modalities.

In the Outpatient Clinic, neuropsychology interns are involved in screening interviews and

neuropsychological assessments that are carried out to help secure appropriate services for

patients with acquired brain injuries. Interns are involved in offering individual and couple

therapy. Typical types of issues that are addressed in treatment involve post-concussive

symptoms, mood and anxiety, adjustment issues, and post-traumatic stress disorder/

symptoms. Interns may also work in collaboration with Outreach therapists, who under the

direction of psychology staff, design and implement programs in the community.

The Community Services Program (some of which is funded by third party insurance) isdesigned to support patients living in the community who need assistance with life skills and

vocational retraining, and behavioural and emotional problems.

There is also the Slow To Recover program within ABIP where neuropsychology interns have

the opportunity to conduct assessments on a consultative basis with patients with complex

medical/neurological presentations.

Integrated Stroke System

Dr. Kathy Smolewska, C.Psych. (Supervised Practice)

The Integrated Stroke Program located at HGH consists of two inpatient units that offers

acute medical care and rehabilitative services to individuals who have suffered from strokes

or other cerebrovascular conditions. Patients cover the adult span, including older adults,

and often have complex medical and/or psychosocial histories. The intern actively

collaborates on cases as part of the interdisciplinary team and regularly participates in

inpatient clinical team rounds. Interns have an opportunity to work closely with a variety of

disciplines, such as social workers, occupational therapists, physiotherapists, speech/

language therapists, nurses, neurologists, nutrition/dietician etc. Interns provide

neuropsychological assessments, emotional and behavioural evaluations, and consultations

on a wide variety of clinical issues (e.g., identify differential and comorbid diagnoses, identify

barriers to rehabilitation and offer strategies, develop treatment plans, offer

recommendations around discharge planning, safety issues and community services/

supports, provide education for families, offer brief support in adjustment/coping, assess

judgment/decision-making abilities, etc.). Interns work toward implementing a flexible

process approach to assessment and readily integrate behavioural observation and relevantmedical information into their interpretations and diagnostic formulations. They have the

opportunity to provide tailored feedback to the client, teams, family members, and

community professionals as applicable. Educational rounds are also available in the stroke

program.

personality, and neuropsychological assessment with a wide range of neurological and

psychiatric difficulties is provided. The types of assessments may conducted include auto-immunological (i.e., HIV, Lupus, MS, etc.), non Alzheimers degenerative diseases (i.e.,

Parkinsons Disease, Huntingtons Chorea, etc.), infectious disorders, seizure disorders,

neurotoxic conditions, follow-up strokes, occasional traumatic injuries, as well as psychiatric

and other medical conditions that affect cognitive functioning. A major focus of this rotation

is conducting differential diagnosis with respect to the above-mentioned conditions and

psychological disorders and offering an opinion to the referring physician. In this rotation,

interns are involved in conducting a clinical neurodiagnostic interview, reviewing available

medical documents, obtaining collateral information, conducting psychometric testing,

integrating all data and offering a clinical formulation/opinion in a comprehensive report, as

well as communicating findings in a feedback session to the referred client.

Pediatric Neurology/Neurosurgery Oncology Neuropsychological Services

In addition to the major core rotations required, Interns are required to complete a brief

minor rotation in Pediatric Neuropsychology for exposure to neurodevelopmental issues.

This will involve didactic case formulation sessions covering a variety of common pediatric

neuropsychological disorders along with the opportunity to participate in 1-2 assessment

cases. There may also be an opportunity to do a longer rotation in Pediatric Neuropsychology

depending on supervisor availability in any given year. Some prior training experience in

pediatric assessment is required as a prerequisite in order to be considered for the

extension of this rotation.

Pediatric Neuropsychology Services are located at MUMC as part of McMaster Childrens

Hospital. These services provide clinical neuropsychological and psychological assessmentsto pediatric and adolescent inpatients and outpatients with a variety of neurological,

psychiatric, behavioural, and learning disorders (e.g., leukemia, brain tumours, traumatic

brain injuries, epilepsy, encephalitis, stroke, mood and anxiety disorders, as well as

metabolic, immunologic and genetic conditions). The intern will be involved in interviewing

children and family members, reviewing relevant medical documentation, administering and

scoring assessment measures, providing feedback to family, children and team members,
