The Marshall Health Adult Clinical Neuropsychology Fellowship is a two-year post graduate training program where fellows acquire advanced skills in neuropsychological assessment, treatment, and consultation and an advanced understanding of brain-behavior relationships. The training site provides access to patients primarily referred from neurology, geriatrics, and neurosurgery, as well as from other services. The program provides experience with adult populations (particularly older adults) with limited exposure to adolescent/young adult populations (18-21 years of age).

Neuropsychological evaluations will be performed on adult outpatients, and fellows will be exposed to patients with various neurodegenerative illnesses, cerebrovascular disorders, movement disorders, epilepsy, traumatic brain injuries, brain neoplasms, psychiatric disturbances, developmental disorders, autoimmune diseases, infectious diseases, and other chronic medical conditions. Additional training opportunities include pre- and post-surgical evaluation of epilepsy surgical candidates, pre-surgical evaluation of DBS candidates, and pre-surgical pain evaluations. Fellows are expected to complete 3 to 4 comprehensive neuropsychological cases per week, though fellow caseloads may be modified depending on special circumstances (e.g., while enrolled in NAN’s Clinical Neuroanatomy course). Fellows typically receive one administrative day per week to participate in didactics, work on report writing, engage in supervision, and/or conduct research.
