About ANST

What is the purpose of ANST?

Broadly, ANST follows three guiding values. These values are: knowledge, community, and leadership. In accordance with these values, our purpose at ANST is to provide information, support, and access to resources for trainees in clinical neuropsychology, which include undergraduate students with a budding interest in neuropsychology, graduate students, and predoctoral interns.

ANST represents a unified community of students and trainees interested in clinical neuropsychology. With the support of our parent organization, the Society for Clinical Neuropsychology, we aim to work together to strengthen the foundation of our profession while continuing to expand its boundaries.
