The Neuropsychology concentration prepares you for internship and postdoctoral training in clinical neuropsychology, while also giving you the freedom to become an excellent clinical psychologist and pursue interests outside neuropsychology.
In addition to the required courses within the degree curriculum, the Neuropsychology concentration curriculum for Clinical Ph.D. students consists of the following requirements:
- PSY 706, 707, 728, 730, 734
- Seminars: Neuropsychology of Neurological Disorders (2 days), Language Development & Pathology (3 days)
- 4 Psychological Assessment Labs credits (in addition to the 7 required for the doctorate) chosen from PSY 564, 644, 676A, 677, 678, 682-684, 689
- 240 hours of Clinical Practicum (as PSY 630, 695 or 697) in neuropsychology under the supervision of a licensed clinical neuropsychologist. The training should include direct service and/or psychologist assessment in neuropsychology, including administration, scoring, interpretation, and write-up of neuropsychological batteries. The practicum may occur in outpatient or inpatient setting with a variety of populations.
- One internship rotation at fulltime status for three months in neuropsychology under the supervision of a licensed clinical neuropsychologist. Typically, this would include at least four complete neuropsychology batteries, at least one child/adolescent and at least one adult.
