Doctoral Externship Students

Our trainees will have exposure to a number of neurodevelopmental and acquired disorders including ADHD, learning disorders, mood disorders, social pragmatic/communication concerns, and autism spectrum disorders. There will also be exposure to a variety of medical syndromes and ailments such as sports-related concussion, traumatic brain injuries, multiple sclerosis, cerebral vascular accidents, cognitive decline associated with chemotherapy, and other neuromedical conditions commonly seen in the adult and geriatric populations. Our patient population is usually referred from pediatricians, neurologists, primary care doctors, psychiatrists, psychologists, and other healthcare providers and medical facilities.

ARCC Neuropsychology acts as a consultation liaison at multiple hospitals in the western suburbs including 3 AMITA hospitals, a Loyola system hospital, Edward/Elmhurst Hospitals, and Good Samaritan hospital.
Our program stresses personal growth within the field and encourages each student to focus on a specific population of their choice (pediatric, adult, or geriatric); however, it is expected that each trainee will have some exposure to all client populations to enhance and broaden their experiences. Trainees will be actively involved in each stage of client care including diagnostic intake interviews, neuropsychological and psychological assessment, scoring and interpretation, and feedback appointments accompanied by their supervisor. Individuals who are hard-working, flexible, and team-focused are encouraged to apply.

Supervision is not specifically limited to neurocognitive/neuropsychological and projective assessments. Professional development is another part of the training program and mentoring process. Trainees will gain exposure and awareness of the private practice model, business, community outreach, insurance, and billing issues associated with being a competent neuropsychologist. Trainees will have the opportunity to practice their formal presentation skills through a case presentation format, and they will be able to regularly consult on cases as a group during weekly group supervision.
