Neuropsychology Central

[prichi]

hi!
my name is Priscilla.
I live in Monterrey, Mexico and I am studying the last years of highschool.

I am really intrested on studing neuropsychology, the problem is, here in Mexico we don't have this career at any University. So I need to get contacts on the United States or elsewhere. If somebody could help me, I will appreciate it a lot.

Thank you.

prichi.

well, good for you for thinking ahead. Neuropsychology is really a doctoral level training and on, so most universities in America don't have the degree either. However, there are B.S./B.A. level neuroscience degrees. Most people study psychology undergrad (but you don't have to) and go to graduate school for clincial psychology. That's usually where you concentrate on neuropsychology. In order to be competetive, it's good to start research at a university and volunteer works at hospitals, etc.

Look at universities with psychology degrees that are clinically and biologically oriented. That would help.

Good luck!
