Hey everyone,
I’m a 2nd year neuropsych post-doc unfortunately on the job hunt during a pretty rough job market. I had multiple possible hospital opportunities prior to the pandemic, and those clearly fell flat given my state was hit pretty hard.
In looking for positions, I came across a part-time gig expecting 6 patients/week for “12 hours of work”. That would be 1 hour interview, 1 hour report writing per patient - a psychometrician would administer tests.
I’m a naive post-doc and pretty green to the private practice world. Am I wrong to consider this to be a bit lofty of an expectation? I reviewed Jerry Sweet’s practice survey and I suspect this is the case. Knowing my own productivity I would have trouble churning out anything but subpar work in this situation.
Regardless, I’m also more curious about typical patient loads/week for neuropsychologists who use psychometricians.
