Could people at pediatric neuropsychology sites post about how many full neuropsychological/integrated reports they have completed or anticipate completing at their internship sites? I'm trying to get a sense of whether or not I could fulfill what is typical of a neuropsych internship rotation at an internship with a generalist model. Is it over 12 batteries for the entire internship year? Thanks!

I wasn't pediatric, but I did complete a neuropsych internship and can speak to my own experiences (which I don't imagine would be much different from the kiddo folks). Factoring in no shows and my non-neuropsych rotations, I probably averaged around 2 full batteries/week, which ultimately worked out to maybe 90-ish over the course of the year. I also conducted a number of shorter bedside evals that were maybe 20 minutes each in length.
 
I just completed a "peds neuro" internship (I use quotes because the format was a bit untraditional). I worked with a bunch of different clinics, including with some adults and teens/young adults, so it's hard to say exactly how many batteries I completed, or how many of those were "peds." On average I'd say probably 1-2 per week, in addition to therapy and didactics and other duties.
