Department of Neurology:
- Behavioral Neurology Unit
Training Opportunities
- Fellows learn to administer, score and interpret neuropsychological tests, integrate neuropsychological data with other sources of relevant information, understand cognitive strengths and weaknesses, aid in diagnosis, develop treatment / coping strategies, and provide feedback to patients and their families.
- Fellows gain experience with a broad range of problems across the three major training rotations. These include, among others, PSYCHIATRIC (e.g., schizophrenia and bipolar disorder), NEUROLOGICAL (e.g., epilepsy, Alzheimer’s disease and other dementing conditions, multiple sclerosis and brain trauma), NEURODEVELOPMENTAL (e.g., learning disabilities, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, and autism/Asperger’s syndrome) and MEDICAL (e.g., diabetes, COPD and cirrhosis) problems.
- Interested Fellows can work with training faculty to develop and pursue research projects in areas of interest.
- The Fellowship is designed to help trainees meet requirements for subsequent board certification in clinical neuropsychology.
