| Please Add Any Additional Information to Include in Your Listing | The clinical neuropsychology major area of study at Drexel University includes courses, research, and clinical experiences designed to train students for professional practice and research careers in neuropsychology. The knowledge of brain-behavior functioning and the incorporation of neuropsychological conceptualizations with traditional clinical conceptualizations of functioning are aimed at providing an integrative perspective regarding the range of human abilities and disabilities. We offer a wide range of neuropsychology practicum opportunities in the Philadelphia area including an in-house training clinic, plus geriatric, pediatric, rehabilitation, medical center, VA and private practice external settings. The majority of students conduct research on applied issues involving patient groups. |
