The O’Grady Residency in Psychology offers residents a number of resources to support their success while at Cincinnati Children’s Hospital Medical Center.
Orientation provides residents with the skills and tools they need to adjust to working at Cincinnati Children’s and begin their training year. Resident orientation covers such topics as ethics, building rapport with children and families, and training in professional development skills. The residents have the opportunity to meet with supervisors prior to starting rotations in order to better understand rotation expectations, populations and types of referral concerns. The orientation process continues for the first several weeks of the residency through required courses for residents.
Each resident is matched with a psychologist advisor based on interests and experience. Introductions occur during orientation week, and the advisor meets regularly with the resident across the residency year to provide support and be available to discuss professional development issues, questions and concerns.
A postdoctoral fellow meets regularly with the residents to candidly discuss their experiences, including potential concerns related to the residency program, supervision and career development. The fellow also works with residents to resolve training and curriculum concerns, if they arise. Typically this role is filled by a fellow who was previously an O'Grady resident.
Residents meet weekly over lunch. This is a structured time for them to share their perceptions, experiences and develop supportive relationships with each other.
Residents meet with the Training Director Team bimonthly. These informal meetings provide a forum for open discussion about current training issues and concerns, and provide opportunities for mentoring and one-on-one support.
Residents are invited to a number of social events throughout the year. The Cincinnati Children’s Pediatric Residency program offers many social events for all hospital residents including clubs, sports teams and community projects. These social outings provide psychology residents with an opportunity to form friendships, relax and have fun with their medical colleagues.
The Division of Behavioral Medicine and Clinical Psychology also sponsors several social events for psychology trainees including a welcome breakfast, Cincinnati Reds game and holiday party.
