Brief Program Description | Emory University School of Medicine offers an Adult Rehabilitation Neuropsychology Externship and ABPPCN Neuropsychology Adult Fellowship. Emory also offers a lifespan neuropsychology internship. The neuropsychology track supports 4 interns per year. This includes 2 adult/geriatric neuropsychology concentration interns and 2 adult/pediatric neuropsychology concentration interns. All students across concentrations complete two 6-month diagnostic neuropsychological assessment major rotations with an emphasis on training in the comprehensive neuropsychological evaluation of persons living with neurologic injury and disease. Interns train in a range of clinical settings with diagnostically diverse patient populations living with neurological conditions such as acquired brain injury, neurodegenerative diseases, stroke, epilepsy, and neoplasm. |
