91Ë¿¹ÏÊÓƵ Psychology Internship Consortium (MPIC)

The Department of Psychology at 91Ë¿¹ÏÊÓƵ has a long and distinguished history of training clinical psychologists. Our goal is to train students to be excellent license-eligible clinicians as well as outstanding researchers. The 91Ë¿¹ÏÊÓƵ Psychology Internship Consortium (MPIC) was developed to provide students enrolled in the Clinical Program of the Department of Psychology at 91Ë¿¹ÏÊÓƵ with breadth of experience in clinical training that would be difficult to achieve within a single site.

The mission of MPIC is to provide clinical education and training in scientifically-based professional Psychology. MPIC aims to produce graduates that have developed the competencies necessary to engage in clinical practice at the highest standards of the profession. MPIC achieves this goal by providing interns with breadth and depth of clinical training in a wide range of clinical activities. The approach to training is consistent with a scientist-practitioner model where practice is supported by scientifically supported principles.

MPIC includes training sites that operate under 3 major regional health authorities in the greater Montreal region, all of which are affiliated teaching hospitals of 91Ë¿¹ÏÊÓƵ.

The MPIC Member Sites include:

1. 91Ë¿¹ÏÊÓƵ Health Centre (MUHC)
   1. Adult Services (Allan Memorial Institute, Montreal General Hospital, and Royal Victoria Hospital)
   2. Montreal Children’s Hospital
   3. Montreal Neurological Institute
2. CIUSSS Centre-Ouest-de-L’Ile-de-Montréal
   1. Jewish General Hospital
   2. Hertzl Family Practice Centre
3. CIUSSS l’Ouest-de-L’Ile-de-Montreal
   1. Douglas Mental Health University Institute

MPIC has been accredited by the Canadian Psychological Association (CPA) since 2017. Psychology interns who are enrolled in the Clinical Psychology Program of the Department of Psychology at 91Ë¿¹ÏÊÓƵ, and complete their internship within MPIC, are considered to have completed a CPA Accredited Internship.

The MPIC Member Sites also accept applications from students who are not enrolled in the Clinical Program of the Department of Psychology at 91Ë¿¹ÏÊÓƵ. Students who complete an internship in an MPIC Member Site but are not enrolled in the Clinical Program of the Department of Psychology at 91Ë¿¹ÏÊÓƵ, would not be considered to be enrolled in a CPA Accredited Internship.
