The Clinical Psychology
Program is APA approved.

In our two-year Postdoctoral Neuropsychology Certificate Program, students and faculty meet in cluster groups in major metropolitan areas. The program is designed to meet the needs of professional psychologists who seek an alternative to residency programs away from their work. This postdoctoral program allows students to continue working in their current positions while at the same time gaining both the theoretical grounding and applied clinical experience needed to develop proficiency in neuropsychological assessment and intervention.

The program has three components: theory/foundation courses, hands-on clinical assessment courses, and a clinical component consisting of a 1,000 hour clinical experience with an additional 200 hours of supervision. There is also a final professional evaluation. The program is guided by its cluster faculty and practicing neuropsychologists, many of whom have published widely and made significant contributions to the field.

Our program is designed for doctoral level psychologists practicing with populations of neuropsychological relevance who wish to gain special proficiency in neuropsychological assessment and intervention. The program offers a thorough grounding in neuropsychology, with extensive hands-on experience in administering, scoring, and interpreting major neuropsychological tests and batteries.

Because professional guidelines stipulate that practitioners receive supervision when acquiring proficiency in this specialty, 200 hours of case supervision are required in order to earn credit for the program's 1,000 hour clinical experience. In addition to the clinical experience, the other requirements of the program are the completion of four graduate-level courses and a final professional evaluation. Following successful completion of these requirements, you will receive a Certificate of Specialization in Clinical Neuropsychology.
