| Brief Program Description | VA Long Beach Healthcare System's neuropsychology training program includes neuropsychology practicum, APA accredited neuropsychology-track internship, and APA Specialty Accredited clinical neuropsychology postdoctoral fellowship. We see veterans across the adult lifespan with often complex neurological, medical, substance, and psychiatric comorbidities. Training includes weekly Neuropsychology Seminar/Journal Club, Neuropsychology Case Conference, and Neuroanatomy Didactics. For interns and fellows, training also includes experience with fact-finding exercises, research, consultation/liaison, program development, supervision of neuropsychology trainees, and possibly rotations in rehabilitation settings (i.e., Spinal Cord Injury/Disorders Clinic, Blind Rehabilitation Clinic, Community Living Center/Acute Rehabilitation Unit). Rotations in these settings will provide opportunities for inpatient and outpatient brief and comprehensive neuropsychological assessment, capacity evaluations, individual and/or group psychological intervention, and interdisciplinary team consultation and liaison. |
