NPEP 1 provides training as part of the practical component of the clinical neuropsychology program. It is designed to develop your neuropsychology competencies and increase clinical experience across a wide range of presentations from childhood through to older adult.

Placement 1 provides an orientation to the profession of Clinical Neuropsychology, an introduction to the practical components of clinical neuropsychology and a graded entry into neuropsychological work with clients.  The course begins to develop trainee technical and professional competencies through clinical work on placement and supervisor feedback regarding assessment, report writing and communication with clients.

During placement, trainees will be expected to undertake basic assessments with direction from their supervisor building on existing clinical skills. As the course progresses over Placement 2 and 3, trainees will take on an increasingly independent approach to client interview, selection of assessment instruments, interpretation of assessment results,  communication of assessment results both written and orally, and develop competencies in providing neuropsychological intervention.
