neuropsychology

Hello all! I hold a doctorate in a research-based psychology PhD, which focused on child development. I am here on SDN because I want to re-specialize to Clinical Psychology for a more fulfilling career but I'm not sure how to go about doing that. I have near to zero clinical psychology...

Hello everyone! This is a bit of an exploratory question/subject that I have not fully fleshed out yet, so I apologize in advance if it feels a bit rambling. I'm a fourth-year Psy.D. student who has spent much of my training within medical systems/settings and received a curriculum emphasis in...

I am the current neuropsychology post-doc at University of South Florida. I have gotten questions from prospective applicants about the program. I realize that not all prospective applicants have a way to contact me, so I am posting the data below from my first 12 months of post-doc to...

I'm currently in my 2nd year of a post-doc in neuropsychology. I was hoping to learn how to do testing with younger individuals but the rotation got taken out due to a supervisor leaving. I have minimal child assessment experience (most of my experience is with 16yo and up) and i ultimately want...

Hello, so I have an offer for a non-formal post-doc in neuropsychology (primarily Autism, ADHD, learning disorders, developmental disorders). However, they do not offer any didactic experience. I'm wondering if taking this offer would mean that I could not pursue board certification and how big...

I may catch some flack for this but am trying to get some thoughts and feedback about the necessity of pursuing a post-doc in neuropsychology and the longterm pros vs cons of bypassing this step, particularly as it applies to the board certification process. I want to preface that this question...

Looking for anyone with experience with psychology positions within the VA that are 100% remote. I have two offers and I've not found many people who do this I can ask questions to. Part of me thinks I would love doing it all remote via VVC etc but then another part of me thinks it would get...

Hello! I am a PsyD student in my post-doc year. I recently completed a 5-day training on the R-Pas and working with my supervisor to incorporate it into the Assessment Center where I work (for appropriate cases). We used to use the Comprehensive System. One hurdle I've come across... the...

I recently started internship, but like other new interns on this forum, I'm already thinking about postdoc! I don't know anyone directly who trained at these sites, so I'm wondering if anyone can provide some info on the adult neuropsychology fellowships? Either here or PM if you feel more...

I am an international student and thus I am not eligible for applying to VA programs. I don't think I will have a competitive number of neuro reports for applying to a neuropsych track either. Btw, what is the average number of neuropsych reports for students who apply for a neuropsych track...

Hi! I am a first-year PsyD student, and I am planning to transfer out of the program as I feel like I'm not gaining any value, especially given what I'm paying for tuition. I chose this particular program as I believed there would be some if not an equal opportunity to pursue research and access...

Hi everyone, It is that time of year to share what psychology doctorate programs people applied to during the Fall 2021, and when they received interview invites. Also, if you were accepted or not/your final decision. Please provide what faculty you wanted to work with as well and who...

Hi all! I'll be finished with postdoc in August and was wondering when I can realistically start applying for jobs? Is it too early to start looking and apply to some now? What's a typical timeline for this stuff? I appreciate any guidance/advice!

As NP trainee, I'm all for efficiency and using technology for our assessments - if they're reliable and valid. https://braincheck.com ..however, it's concerning that programs like Braincheck don't seem to have any neuropsychologists or psychologists on their team. Also, while I didn't yet...

I apologize for the whiny rant to come. I’ve posted on here before about my inability to decide between psychology and medicine, and I think I’m finally getting to the point where I can’t keep putting the decision off. I’ve finally realized that my ability to not decide is partially based off of...

Hello! This may have already been discussed elsewhere but I couldn't locate anything, so apologies if it has been! I am currently halfway through a 2 year neuropsychology postdoc and although not included as part of the requirements of the program when I signed on, now that I have completed one...

I am a 3rd year PsyD student (5 year program). I've been so unhappy with my program and consistently question my career choices. Before starting my program, I was set on wanting to get into a PsyD program and specializing in neuropsychology. I recently started my external practicum year and I...

I'm currently planning on applying to PhD programs in clinical psychology for entry in Fall 2022, however I understand that there is extreme competition for these programs. Therefore I'm going to be applying to MS programs in clinical psychology as well. However, I'm interested specifically in...

Hello Everyone! A bit of a long post ahead: I'm not sure if a similar thread has been posted before but I am a student that switched from being very pre-med focused to psychology. I have always had an interest in Psych but never looked seriously into it as a career until I started working at a...

I'm a postdoctoral neuropsychology fellow in Arizona. In the reports we write, the supervisors name and post-docs names are supposed to be listed as co-authors (the postdocs write the entire report and the supervisor makes edits). I noticed several of the reports I had written being mailed out...

Hi all! I am currently working as a School Psych with my Ed.S. I also have an M.Ed Clinical Mental Health Counseling. I know I want to go back to get my Ph.D., I really would like to work/do research on ADHD, ASD, and/or SLD. In particular, I would like the opportunity to do academic...

I attended my 1st neurological case conference, as a new NP extern in the neurological dept of a hospital. I did well in all my neurophysio, neurobio, and NP courses, but still did not understand maybe 1/2 of the neurologists' vocabulary. I know google is my friend, but what other resources have...

I'm a 2nd year student currently on my 1st external practicum. I'm interested in neuropsychology, but not sure if I want to have a specific NP practicum next year- I want to develop my therapy skills further. My current site has actually been great for assessments (already done several...

I am having some trouble ranking my internship interview sites and thought I would consult the board for some opinions. Specifically, I'm trying to ascertain the general perception of these site's reputation and prestige. While prestige/reputation is certainly not my only consideration, and...

There seems to be a lot of variability in testing hours out there. What amount (lower and upper cutoffs) of neuropsychological testing do you consider to be unethical? I’d love to hear from those in a variety of different settings (e.g., PP, AMCs, VAs, etc...). What factors should one consider...

I'm in a clinical PhD program, with an interest in neuropsychology. I'm starting to think about internship and post doc and I'm curious about ways to get training to make me qualified to work with children and adults as a neuropsychologist. It seems like there are a couple of postdocs that focus...

Long story short, the private practice where I am is significantly changing from what we had originally signed up for, so as a preventive measure, I have started to look into alternative placements to complete the second year of my fellowship, should this be needed. I wonder if anyone has had...

Hi everyone, I'm pretty desperate to get some firsthand accounts from people who have gone through the PsyD programs at Pacific University in Oregon and Roosevelt University in Chicago. Both programs offer a neuropsychology track, which is what I'm truly interested in and why I've focused on...

Hi everyone, I’ve recently been going back and forth between phrsuong occupational therapy or pursuing neuropsychology. I completed a bachelor’s degree in December in Business Management, but during my junior year had realized this was not the path I wanted to follow. I decided to take the...

I'm a current neuropsychology internship applicant from the Midwest. My goal is to eventually end up on the West Coast since my partner is there. BUT, I have some really great opportunities in my area and am considering ranking the Midwest programs higher with the hope that a great internship...

I'm a psychology undergrad with an emphasis in neuroscience and I want to pursue a Ph.D. in clinical neuropsychology, though currently I'm looking at various masters programs to help me eventually get into a program. I'm having a hard time finding a solid research psychology masters, so I began...

What is the typical percentage split when joining a group neuropsychology practice? I have heard numbers such as 60%/40% and 70%/30%. I recently interviewed for a position that has a 50-50 split. They provide office space, furniture, testing materials and protocols, admin support, and send you...

Hi everyone. I wanted to ask current grad students/current people working in the psychology field about the lucrative jobs in this field. I have no clue about the psychology field, but it's a topic that interests me, so that's why I'm researching more about psychology. To be more specific, the...

Hello everyone. I was wondering if anyone had any perspectives/standpoints on how the future of clinical neuropsychology is headed (approximately 5-15 years)? I've heard from multiple sources that the advancement in technology would eventually diminish the neuropsychology field. Any opinions on...

Hello everyone. I'm in high school right now, and I'm just wondering about my future. I want to get into the psychology field because the topic interests me, but I'm not sure which jobs I should strive for. I have thought about becoming a clinical pediatric neuropsychologist and just wondering...

I'm a recent graduate with a BA in health science and policy and I plan to go on for an MPH in epidemiology, environmental health, or health & behavioral sciences. Maybe a dual degree? I'm very interested in disability, neuropsychology, environmental health and the medical humanities. I have...

Does anyone include references in their neuropsych reports? If so, I'm imagining the in-text citations are standard APA formatting but where would you list the reference section (before or after signature) and is that in standard APA format? Any help is appreciated.
