cases like Alzheimer's, Parkinson’s, stroke, or traumatic
brain injury (TBI).
The field sits at the intersection of neuroscience and
psychology, offering constant intellectual stimulation in
understanding complex brain-behavior links.
You will work and help with a wide range of conditions,
including epilepsy, brain tumors, dementia,
stroke, and concussion.
As a specialized, growing field, there is a
significant need for practitioners to assess cognitive

Neuropsychology is a relatively young science with a
high rate of new discoveries, offering opportunities to
contribute to new advancements in understanding
and treatment.
Neuropsychologists are clinical psychologists with
advanced specialized training in neuroanatomy, neurophysiology,
and brain functioning, often working alongside neurologists
and neurosurgeons to improve patient quality of life.
