Fielding’s Neuropsychology Specialization Training Program provides psychologists with formal instruction in neuropsychological foundations, theories, and assessments in preparation for practice as a neuropsychologist.

Our curriculum provides a broad foundation in the latest theory and research in brain-behavior relationships and training in how to conduct a comprehensive neuropsychological evaluation.

Throughout the program, the careful study of patients with various neuropathological disorders develops clinical skills and knowledge related to understanding the interaction among psychosocial, neurological, and medical factors impacting the patient’s functioning and development of treatment strategies.

Students and faculty meet one weekend a month, 10 months a year, in cluster groups located in New York City and Southern California. Most students complete the program in two years and spend an average of 5 to 10 hours a week on their studies in addition to their clinical activities.

Our graduates are leaders in their chosen professions. They are top executives, entrepreneurs, educators, coaches, consultants, and leaders in health care, and nonprofits.

Fielding Faculty: Elkhonon Goldberg, PhD, ABPP/ABCN Dr. Goldberg is adjunct faculty in the School of Psychology at Fielding Graduate University, and a clinical professor in the Department of Neurology at New York University School of Medicine. He is particularly renowned for his scientific contributions to neuropsychological theory, dynamic aspects of functional cortical organization, frontal lobes, hemispheric specialization, and memory as well as for his innovative diagnostic and rehabilitative methods.

Your faculty advisor will inform you about special requirements for preparing a presentation (e.g., format, need to schedule a time or not, etc.)

FINAL PROFESSIONAL EVALUATION (FPE): Students submit a written, comprehensive case study and are orally examined on it.
