National survey of clinical neuropsychology postdoctoral fellows.

Full Abstract

The present study was designed to survey postdoctoral fellows in clinical neuropsychology about their perceptions of a variety of training standards and recommendations. Survey packets were mailed to the 78 training directors listed in Cripe's (1998) most recent listing of postdoctoral training programs at the time of survey. A response rate of 44% was achieved. Results were notable in that most fellows had been trained in clinical psychology, and mostly in Ph.D. programs. Approximately half had been trained and/or supervised by diplomates in clinical neuropsychology from the American Board of Professional Psychology. Continuing education was judged by respondents to be an insufficient substitute for formal training. Most respondents completed internships and postdoctoral residencies in a hospital setting, with greater than 50% of their time devoted to clinical neuropsychology.
