Welcome to the AACN FNSIG!
As of the most recent count, we have over 500 members in the FNSIG, and we continue to grow every month. Interest in the practice of forensic neuropsychology among neuropsychologists has never been higher, and requests for our services related to legal and administrative proceedings is increasing. The FNSIG forum provides an excellent forum for discussion of topics relevant to forensic neuropsychology practitioners.
For the past six years, we have held FNSIG meetings at our annual AACN Conference, and each year we have supported many forensically- oriented conference workshops. The coming 2024 annual conference in Scottsdale is no exception. There will be a fabulous slate of forensic presenters, as we have had every year from the very beginning of our annual conference 21 years ago.
The Core Leadership of the FNSIG has been busy too, with journal articles, book chapters and the above noted presentations. Some of the publications are available in the below listed links and an invitation to join.
The AACN Board of Directors and the Forensic Neuropsychology Special Interest Group (FNSIG) core leadership are pleased to host the FNSIG forum. The forum is devoted to issues in forensic neuropsychology for discussion, questions, and any pertinent issues in forensic neuropsychology.
All members of the AACN community are welcome to join and participate, and we hope you will! This includes all dues-paid active, senior, and student members, as well as non-certified affiliates.

We remain committed to providing educational opportunities for our trainees, early career, and veteran forensic neuropsychologists, through the listserv discussions, and as we continue to plan other initiatives, including a mentoring program and working with our APPCN colleagues to develop training models in postdoctoral programs.
Recent good news, as well: The Forensic Neuropsychology Poster Award! We thank our colleague and friend Robert Heilbronner for the idea and his generosity. Consider donating to this important recognition of forensic neuropsychology science. $500 will be awarded to the winner to be presented at the annual AACN Conference. We particularly encourage early career and trainee forensic neuropsychologists and researchers to apply.
Many thanks to all who participate in our FNSIG forum. Hope to see many of you at the conference.
