Hello,
I am a current intern and am currently applying for neuropsych postdocs. One site offered me an interview, but I am a little wary because they have no board-certified neuropsychologists on staff, and I want to be board-eligible when I complete my fellowship. I asked them about it, and one of the neuropsychologists there responded to me and said that she was in the process of getting board certified right now- she said that she passed the written examination and was moving on to the record review.
I know that ABPP requires a written exam, a review of written reports, and an oral exam, but I don't know the timeline... assuming all goes well, how long does this tend to take? If she passes everything, and I am offered/accept this position, would I be able to say I've been supervised by a board-certified neuropsychologist? She told me that completion of their 2-year fellowship would make me board-eligible, but I just wanted to double check.
Please let me know if this doesn't make sense; I feel like I rambled a bit.
Thanks for your help!
