Edmonton Cross-Specialty Psychology Residency Consortium (ECPRC)

The Edmonton Cross-Specialty Psychology Residency Consortium (ECPRC) is delighted to offer a CPA-Accredited cross-specialty psychology residency training program. Our main areas of training focus on clinical and counselling psychology across the lifespan, including specialized training in interventions, formal assessment, and health psychology.

The ECPRC is located within the greater area of Edmonton, Alberta, Canada – a metropolitan city with over 1.5 million people. Edmonton is the fifth largest city in Canada hosts the largest urban parkland in Canada, accounting for 160km of maintained trails and 20 major parks. We also loving refer to Edmonton as Canada's festival city, given we sport more festivals than weeks in a year.

It is critical for us to acknowledge that we live, learn, work and play here as uninvited guests on traditional Indigenous lands of the Treaty 6, 7 and 8 Peoples, including the Metis, Cree, Blackfoot, Iroquois, Dene, Nakota Sioux, Ojibway, Saulteaux/Anishanaabe. These lands are a sacred gift from the Creator, which have been taken from the Indigenous Peoples forcibly through Canada’s sordid history of colonialism. As psychologists and psychologists-in-training, we make an active anti-racist commitment to supporting the First Peoples of this land with humility and to reconcile the harms psychology has perpetuated. This includes supporting autonomy and cultural continuity, incorporating indigenous ways of knowing and honouring and incorporating indigenous healing methods.

We have six residency spots across four sites, resulting in five tracks: 

  • Cross Cancer Institute - Health Psychology (1 position)
  • Millard Health - Health Psychology (2 positions)
  • University of Alberta Clinical Services - Lifespan Community Mental Health (1 position)
  • University of Alberta Clinical Services - Early Lifespan School and Community Mental Health (1 position)
  • YWCA - Community Mental Health (1 position)

For more information on our tracks, including population, setting, and anticipated experiences, please refer to our Brochure.

Our residency is a 1600-hour commitment, which is full-time over 12-months from September to August. This meets the registration requirements for the College of Alberta Psychologists and CPA Accreditation (6th Ed.) standards.
