The Clinical Neuropsychology
Trainee Forum (CNTF)

What is the CNTF?

The Clinical Neuropsychology Trainee Forum (CNTF) is a virtual forum held three times yearly in which student/trainee leaders from neuropsychology organizations can exchange information and seek common ground in projects of inter-organizational interest. It also serves as a resource to engage in inclusive and impactful student advocacy. Informational exchange and advocacy efforts facilitate the coordination of trainee-related advocacy among its member organizations and helps provide consistent information to students while avoiding inefficient duplication that may waste resources.

What is involved?

• Three virtual meetings each year (January, May, and October) attended by the student/trainee representatives of the participating neuropsychology organizations.
• Representatives from the participating organizations take turns coordinating the meetings and taking meeting notes.
• Meeting notes are shared with the respective parent organizations by their student/trainee leaders.
• The CNTF is not a formal organization and does not have a governing body. Its sole purpose is to set aside meeting times for student/trainee leaders to communicate with one another efficiently. All student/trainee initiatives are pursued through the proper parent organizational channels.
