• Fellowship training will be conducted in the Neuropsychology Service in the Physical Medicine & Rehabilitation Section at Carilion Clinic in conjunction with the Virginia Tech Carilion School of Medicine. The service is comprised of three clinical neuropsychologists, two of whom are board certified (ABPP-CN). Fellows will conduct outpatient neuropsychological evaluations of adults with various clinical presentations, including neurodegenerative diseases, traumatic brain injuries, stroke, movement disorders, multiple sclerosis, epilepsy, substance use disorders, and co-morbid mood disorders. The fellow will also gain specific experience in conducting pre-surgical evaluations for patients within multi-disciplinary movement disorder and epilepsy teams, as well as a rotation within the Brain Injury Center. Fellows will commit roughly 70% of their time to clinical work, 20% in didactic/supervision, and 10% in research. In addition to neuropsychological assessments, fellows are encouraged to pursue therapeutic opportunities such as cognitive behavioral therapy and cognitive rehabilitation. Fellows will receive at least two hours per week of direct supervision with program faculty, and an additional hour of weekly group supervision. Fellows will be expected to enter the program with proficiency in clinical interviewing, test administration, record review, and report writing. Fellows will advance throughout the course of the program towards increasing independence in conducting all aspects of neuropsychological evaluations. Fellows will aim to complete an average of three neuropsychological evaluations per week and will be expected to conduct their own testing. Depending on availability, an opportunity to supervise externs may be offered.

Program Requirements & Selection Process

Qualified candidates will have successfully completed a PhD or PsyD in clinical psychology from an APA-accredited institution and completed an APA/APPIC-approved internship.
