Responsibilities include outpatient pediatric neuropsychological assessment and consultation with educational staff. There are ample opportunities for teaching, supervision, and research activities. Our clinicians are involved in our APA-accredited internship program and in training at the extern and fellowship levels.
This is a truly unique opportunity to join The Center for Neuropsychological Services – an outpatient based clinical practice providing assessment to people across the lifespan with a variety of neurodevelopmental, psychiatric, and medical illnesses. Currently we are staffed with two neuropsychologists and two clinical neuropsychology fellows. Full administrative support is provided.
