UW Hospital and Clinics offers two adult and one pediatric fellowship in clinical neuropsychology. The program involves a two year full time experience (approximately 4000 hours), providing the necessary postdoctoral training hours required for licensure to practice psychology independently in the state of Wisconsin. The program is designed to provide clinical training and didactic experiences consistent with the Houston Conference Guidelines.
The program is based on practitioner-scholar model offering hands-on experience and education of relevant medical and neuropsychological conditions. Our intent is to prepare fellows for a career as a neuropsychologist and pursue Board Certification in Clinical Neuropsychology through ABPP.
Consistent with Houston Conference Guidelines, Fellows at UW-Madison are expected to participate in a “non-clinical activity” which refers to a scholarly or professional activity which complements their clinical training. There are many ways to meet this criterion. Opportunities include research, conference posters and presentations, publications, or quality improvement measures. Fellows also gain teaching experience through Neuropsychology and Neurology Grand Rounds, Neurology Grand Rounds, and medical school classes. They teach learners in clinical settings including undergraduate and graduate students, medical students, Residents, and Fellows. Faculty also invite Fellows to collaborate on existing teaching and research projects aligning with the Fellows interest and professional goals.
Previous graduates of our fellowship have gone on to practice neuropsychology at competitive locations including academic medical centers, community clinics, and VA’s.
