Our Predoctoral Externship in Rehabilitation Psychology and Clinical Neuropsychology offers two distinct tracks, Acute Inpatient and Outpatient, allowing trainees to work with individuals at different stages of brain injury recovery.
Acute Inpatient Track
The Acute Inpatient Track offers two to three externship positions in acute inpatient rehabilitation psychology. The goal of this track is to expose externs to an inpatient multidisciplinary approach to patient care, and to provide them with unique training opportunities in the areas of trauma, medical disability, brain injury, spinal cord injury, limb loss, behavioral medicine, brief neuropsychological assessment, and cognitive remediation. Upon completion of their training year, externs will have a greater understanding of how, in the acute phase of recovery, physical, cognitive, and emotional disabilities may impact functioning at the individual, familial, and societal levels.

Outpatient Track
The Outpatient Track offers three externship positions in outpatient clinical rehabilitation psychology. The goal of this track is to provide externs with clinical experience in an
outpatient multidisciplinary setting in the areas of brain injury, behavioral medicine,
neuropsychological assessment, group interventions, and cognitive remediation. All patients served are adults. Upon completion of the program, externs will have a greater understanding of how, in post-acute phases of recovery, physical, cognitive, and emotional disabilities affect functioning at the individual, familial, and societal levels.
