The postdoctoral positions within the Section of Neuropsychology in the Department of Psychiatry and Psychology at the Cleveland Clinic Foundation (CCF) are designed for individuals who have met the basic academic and training requisites for the doctorate, and have a strong academic and clinical training background in the fundamentals of neuroscience and neuropsychological assessment.
The
Postdoctoral Fellowship Program in Neuropsychology at CCF is a founding
member of the Association of Postdoctoral Programs in Clinical Neuropsychology
(APPCN). In accordance with the INS-Division 40 guidelines (The Clinical
Neuropsychologist, 1987, 1, 29-34), and the aspirational goals espoused
by the Houston conference (Archives of Clinical Neuropsychology, 1998,
2, 203-240), our postdoctoral positions are designed to provide fellows
with the didactic and experiential opportunities necessary to hone their
clinical interpretative and consultation skills at a professional level
while under the supervision of experienced neuropsychologists. In addition,
specific training goals include active involvement in clinical research
and educational opportunities within the context of a nationally known
tertiary medical center.
The
two-year experience will be divided into time periods that allow for general
clinical training, specialization in particular clinical areas (i.e.,
pediatrics, adult neuropsychology, or specialization with a particular
population such as epilepsy patients), research, teaching, and participation
in didactics. During the first weeks of each rotation, training concentrates
on skill building and refinement in the areas of test administration,
test interpretation, and report writing. For the first twelve months,
two four month rotations will be completed in the fellow's primary interest
area, e.g., adult or pediatric neuropsychology, and one four month rotation
in the fellow's secondary interest area. The second year consists of an
elective rotation that is tailored as much as possible to meet the fellow's
specific interests.
