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 outpatient medical neuropsychology evaluations in young, middle-age, and older adults. A broad range of training opportunities are available in neurodegenerative disease, cerebrovascular disease, motor neuron disease, autoimmune and rheumatologic syndromes, organ transplantation, epilepsy, neuro-oncology, and other subspecialties. You will complete time in three major clinical rotations during the two-year training cycle:

  • Classic Primary Neurodegenerative Disease and Clinical Prodromes
  • Neurosurgical Populations (Epilepsy/Neuro-Oncology/Cerebrovascular)
  • Complex Medical Neuropsychology/Genetic Conditions

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.
