Elizabeth Wallace, Ph.D.

Before starting the Clinical Neuropsychology Fellowship at Mayo Clinic in Florida, I completed my Ph.D. in Clinical Psychology at the University of Kentucky and a predoctoral neuropsychology internship at the UCLA Semel Institute. I also spent a few years working in scientific conference programming and clinician engagement for dementia and rare disease nonprofit organizations.

I was drawn to this fellowship for its rich training opportunities in the three foundational areas of neurodegenerative, neurosurgical, and complex medical neuropsychology, and my experience thus far has been outstanding. A unique benefit of this fellowship is learning from the expert faculty’s innovative approaches to clinical applications of neuropsychology, including work with low base rate conditions, intraoperative cognitive mapping, treatment and rehabilitation interventions, and more. This fellowship has broadened my perspective of what neuropsychology is and what it can be, and there is no shortage of cutting-edge clinical, research, and professional development activities tailored to meet my training goals. I also have the opportunity to work collaboratively on multidisciplinary teams that deeply value neuropsychology and are committed to the highest quality patient care. The kindness and camaraderie of the faculty and team members make this a wonderful and supportive training environment.

Jessie Jenson, Ph.D

I earned my Ph.D in Clinical Psychology with an emphasis in Neuropsychology from Fielding Graduate University and completed my predoctoral neuropsychology internship at the University of Missouri. My clinical interests include neuropsychological assessment of complex neurological and neurosurgical populations.

The Mayo Clinic in Florida Neuropsychology Fellowship has provided me with invaluable opportunities to expand my knowledge and clinical expertise through working with complex and low-base-rate disorders, while continuing to develop my independence and confidence as a neuropsychologist. I am excited for the opportunity to engage in research and innovation, which allows me to explore new ideas and contribute to the continued advancement of the field. The emphasis on patient-centered care, combined with the expertise, collaboration, and support of an exceptional team, makes Mayo Clinic in Florida an incredible environment for professional growth. I am truly grateful to be a part of such a remarkable community and to contribute to its mission of providing outstanding care while advancing the practice and science of clinical neuropsychology.
