Training Tracks

Interns are matched to one of two tracks. In addition to six Standard Clinical positions, we offer two Neuropsychology track or emphasis positions. All tracks are open to interns from Clinical or Counseling Psychology Programs.

The Standard Clinical track offers the widest flexibility training. Interns select from a variety of full-time 17 week-long rotations. (See Activities page for rotation details)

The Neuropsychology track or emphasis provides training in clinical neuropsychology and neuropsychological assessment and is designed to meet the Houston Conference and APA Division 40 training guidelines in clinical neuropsychology. The Intern is expected to devote approximately 50% of his or her time to activities designed to increase knowledge of brain-behavior relationships and neuropsychological assessment. This is accomplished through 17 week-long rotations in Neuropsychology and Rehabilitation Psychology as well as through providing assessment and intervention services in our GRECC (Geriatric Research Education Clinical Center) memory loss clinic. Although Neuropsychology track interns focus a portion of their training in areas related to neuropsychology, the track is structured to ensure that their training is broad and general and is consistent with APA CoA Guidelines and Principles. Neuropsychology track interns are also required to do a 17 week-long rotation in an area outside of neuropsychology, usually dealing with severe mental illness. In addition, they are required to participate in year-long non-neuropsychology intervention and assessment training through our Adjunctive Training Experiences. Please see Adjunctive Training Experiences on the Activities page of this website.

Neuropsychology track interns are encouraged to choose the experiences that will provide them with a solid foundation in neuropsychology and general clinical psychology that allows them to be competitive in neuropsychology postdoctoral.
