I apologize; I misspoke when I mentioned that neuropsychology training was least desired. I meant neuroscience, and other non-clinically oriented degrees. I found such information at www.appcn.org

Hi Michael,

Let me preface my response by pointing out that I'm a student myself, so I'm not the foremost authority on this.

Anyway, I think the answer depends on where you are in your training and what's available in your program. If courses in assessment, physio psych, and neuroanatomy are available to you, then take them. If not, don't panic. It doesn't completely shut you out of a neuropsych internship, it just makes it more difficult. Alternatively, rather than an internship program with an explicit neuropsych track, lots of internships have a standard clinical track with the availability of neuropsych training. I'd seek these out and see what you can get at the predoctoral level. Then, with this neuropsych training at internship, that will better set you up for a postdoc. I'd also recommend trying to find a way you can get a little extra push into the neuropsych field in advance, whether it's helping out with research in a neuropsych lab, or doing some extra assessments in your clinical setting.

The problem with figuring out exactly what path to take is twofold: (1) It's sometimes hard to determine what the Houston Conf's guidelines would suggest for a particular situation, and (2) internships generally don't say whether they meet APA Div 40 guidelines, and therefore it's up to you to figure it out. Point #2 is what I'm struggling with as we speak. If you can find an internship that meets your needs from a clinical perspective as well as providing solid training in neuropsych, which shouldn't be impossible, that should help you out a bunch in terms of post-doc and beyond.
