I have been considering different schools for clinical psych doctoral programs for a while but only within the last few months have I realized that I want to primarily focus on neuro psych assessments after school. Some of the schools that I'm looking at have neuro psych tracks/emphases but I want to make sure that I'm getting proper training to become a strong neuropsychologist and not just take some extra classes. The only problem is that I am worried that my GRE scores are not going to be great (given my previous scores) and want to find some programs that are a little less competitive, if they exist. I have a MA in Clinical Psych with a 3.9 GPA and I'm considering psyd and phd programs, fwiw.
I'm also curious about the distribution of neuro training/learning in doctoral programs. Is it common to take only a few extra classes for a neuro track or should I expect to focus strongly on neuro psych in school? I have a feeling that a majority of training/learning comes from internships but I am a little confused on the whole process.
Thanks for your help.
