| Describe Research Opportunities at Your Site | Trainees will have opportunities to work with their primary research mentor on neuropsychology research. There is an expectation that trainees contribute to publications and lead their own first-author publications when completing the program. There may also be training opportunities through practicum sites involving secondary analysis of clinical datasets on patients with Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, stroke, and traumatic brain injury, and patients undergoing organ transplant surgery. |
