Curriculum
The curriculum provides a broad foundation in the latest theory and research in brain-behavior relationships and training in how to administer, score and interpret neuropsychological tests and batteries. Throughout the program, the careful study of patients with various neuropathological disorders supports your learning appropriate rehabilitative methods and techniques for specific patient groups.
The 1,000-hours of self-guided clinical experience occurs in your workplace or other approved site. During the group meetings, your faculty member consults with you and your classmates on the assessments that students have done with their own clients. These group meetings are delivered in a Socratic-style discussion so that you and your classmates can all learn through each other and gain experiences unique to each student’s client population. Over the two years, you must accrue 200 case consultation hours and present a minimum of 50 cases. The capstone of your two years is the Final Professional evaluation through which you demonstrate mastery of neuropsychology assessment and intervention.
