Catherine Dion, Ph.D.

Before starting the Clinical Neuropsychology Fellowship at Mayo Clinic, I completed my Ph.D. in Clinical Health Psychology at the University of Florida and a predoctoral neuropsychology internship at Brown University. I was drawn to the neuropsychology fellowship at Mayo Clinic Florida because of its outstanding clinical and research training opportunities, allowing me to delve deeper into my main areas of interest while gaining a wide range of experiences. My time at Mayo Clinic Florida has so far been incredibly rewarding, exposing me to various medically and neurologically complex conditions, including low base-rate conditions. I have also been actively involved in exciting research projects focusing on neuro-oncology and using intraoperative real-time cognitive testing to minimize cognitive complications from neurosurgery. I also have the opportunity to work collaboratively on multidisciplinary care teams with neurology, neurosurgery, neuroradiology, radiation oncology, and other health professionals to best serve patients.

In addition to the outstanding training, what sets this program apart is the supportive and intellectually stimulating environment. I have had the privilege of learning from faculty members who are experts in the field and dedicated to nurturing a collaborative learning atmosphere. This unique approach has significantly contributed to my professional growth and development
