Neuropsychology Central

I think some schools might look for more research experience but others might find your path interesting--it gets a little boring looking at dozens of applications from college seniors every year. For ...

Just FYI, the list has been updated so the weblinks work. Sorry I messed it up before. I will be at NAN, so perhaps I'll see you there.

OK, update: I have added a number of internship sites to the list on NPCentral's Training links page. The sites I added are all of the ones I could find on the APPIC page that (a) have a website and ( ...

Hi Rayna, I hope you're doing well.

The Div 40 website only has a small selection of internships, and I actually don't think there's any oversight, so if a program submits a listing there, it gets ...

Ha, I guess I write so much that I get direct requests now, huh? Sorry I haven't been to the site in a while. Hope it's not too late.

If you're interested in being a clinical neuropsychologist, don ...

I stumbled across something that I thought might be interesting to any neuropsychology-minded students who use iTunes. Elizabeth Warrington, PhD, of the Institute of Neurology and the National Hospita ...

Well, I don't think accreditation has anything to do with it (that usually means APA- or CPA- approved), but do you mean non-APPIC-member sites? I honestly don't know anything about those sites, and d ...

You can't arrange an unfunded position "except in unusual and infrequent circumstances". There actually used to be unfunded internship positions, but then APPIC outlawed it. Not just for kic ...

Ask your PCP or your psychiatrist to refer you to a neurologist.

Just testing.....

1) I'd look through the list of graduate schools on this website's links page, and see if any of those schools appeal to you. I think it doesn't matter as much where you did your undergrad, but I admi ...

I have time for a quick response--you're right, there are very few dedicated neuropsych tracks, but you don't need a whole neuropsych track (if you did, there would probably only be like 100 neuropsyc ...

Kiernan,

I think that since you're in high school, what you should do is read a bit about it. The internet has plenty of good resources you can look up, most of which are linked on this website. Sk ...

Well, I'm definitely not an expert on these things, but I think first you'd want to find out more information about what the diagnosis actually is--there's no such thing as a "Processing and Memo ...

Well, obviously you knew you would get a response saying you were wrong, since cognitive neuropsychology is a huge field. But, just for the sake of understanding, which field are you claiming is a stu ...

My personal take: it couldn't hurt to see someone different and just tell yourself that you're seeking a second opinion--people don't tend to disagree with themselves, no matter what profession they'r ...

Why does anyone look down on anyone else? Maybe you're talking to the wrong people.

I don't actually know anything about the program personally, but I would say that there's nothing about a medical-setting focus that would make the program lower in quality. It basically means they ha ...

There are plenty of schools that have excellent neuropsychology training that do not have a neuropsychology "concentration." Refer to the list of schools on the links page of this site as a ...

The attention tests I like to use are already on the computer. Sorry, do you have something more specific in mind?
