Neuropsychological Assessment - Qualifications For Conducting Assessments

Qualifications For Conducting Assessments

Neuropsychological assessments are usually conducted by PhD psychologists trained in neuropsychology. They will usually have postdoctoral training in neuropsychology, neuroanatomy, and brain function. Most will be licensed and practicing psychologists in their particular field. Recent developments in the field allow for highly trained individuals such as psychometrists to administer selected instruments, though determinations regarding testing results remain the responsibility of the doctor.
