Clinical Neuropsychology Fellowship (Florida) - Residencies and Fellowships - Mayo Clinic College of Medicine & Science

Page Content

Overview

Mayo Clinic's campus in Jacksonville, Florida, offers a two-year full-time postdoctoral program for advanced training in clinical neuropsychology. The Clinical Neuropsychology Fellowship prepares doctoral-level neuropsychologists for board certification through the American Board of Clinical Neuropsychology (ABCN) and for careers in multidisciplinary medical or academic settings.

The training model focuses on clinical neuropsychology in young, middle-aged, and older adults. Supervision is provided by nine clinical neuropsychologists, many of which are ABCN board certified. Clinical training includes outpatient neuropsychological evaluations with diverse patient populations, including individuals with neurodegenerative conditions, complex medical and psychiatric conditions, those undergoing surgical evaluation and treatment, and cross-cultural neuropsychological evaluation. Training also includes assessment and monitoring in inpatient neurosurgical settings, as well as neuro-interventional opportunities. Fellows will complete time in three primary rotations:

Neurogenerative rotation
Neurosurgical rotation
Complex medical rotation

The fellowship also includes one half-day of protected research time, and past fellows have been successful in producing peer-reviewed articles, book chapters, conference presentations, and academic posters. There are also numerous educational opportunities within our neuropsychology division, local institution, and across the Mayo Clinic enterprise. This includes shadowing of Mayo Clinic physicians and allied staff in behavioral neurology, movement disorders, neuroradiology, epilepsy, neuro-oncology, vascular neurology, autoimmune neurology, transplant health, and more.

More about the curriculum

Director's welcome

We collaborate with learners to create individually tailored training experiences in clinical practice, research, and teaching. We train by the Mayo Clinic philosophy that "the needs of the patient come first” while also recognizing that the needs of the learner come first.

Accreditation

The Clinical Neuropsychology Fellowship is a member program of the Association of Postdoctoral Programs in Clinical Neuropsychology (APPCN). APPCN does not accredit postdoctoral programs. The organization developed training standards and a code of conduct, followed by affiliated programs.

Program history

The Clinical Neuropsychology Fellowship began in 1995 with one fellow training at a time for a two-year program cycle and recruitment taking place only once every 2 years. The program includes two postdoctoral fellows and recruits annually, with one first-year fellow and one senior fellow. Former fellows have gone on to secure positions in academic departments, medical centers, private practice, and industry.
