 Amber, who connected with me onLinkedIn, is thinking of a career in neuropsychology and had a few questions for me. I'm sharing my responses to her questions here.Q: What education/training is involved to become a Neuropsychologist? A
neuropsychologist's training includes academic and supervised clinical
placement experiences in graduate school, and then continues with a predoctoral
internship focused on evaluation and treatment of brain-behavior disorders.
A postdoctoral fellowship (1-2 years) or residency in neuropsychology
provides the additional supervised clinical experience, brain labs, and
directed reading necessary for independent practice. |
