Jelena P. King, Ph.D, C.Psych. Psychologist, Clinical Neuropsychology Service
Jelena King received her Ph.D. in 2005 from the University of Waterloo, and completed a clinical internship at Baycrest Centre for Geriatric Care and a postdoctoral fellowship in the Schizophrenia Program at the Centre for Addiction and Mental Health and Psychiatry Department, University of Toronto. Dr. King was employed as a psychologist in the Schizophrenia Program at the CAMH from 2006 to 2007 and recently joined the Schizophrenia Service at St. Joseph's Healthcare in a clinical research position that combines her primary interests of cognitive experimental research, neuropsychological and psychological assessment, and clinical training and teaching. Dr. King holds an academic appointment in the Department of Psychiatry and Behavioural Neuroscience at McMaster University and is actively involved in research focusing on cognition in schizophrenia utilizing visual cognitive paradigms. Additionally, Dr. King is currently setting up a research program to study late-life cognitive decline in schizophrenia, which will characterize the profile of cognitive decline and related neuroanatomical changes in elderly schizophrenia patients, as well as establish the additional impact of confounding factors such as chronic institutionalization and medical comborbidities.
