Qualified candidates must have a doctoral degree in clinical, counseling, or school psychology from an accredited program; and must possess experience in the neuropsychological assessment of medically ill children and adolescents. Completion of a two-year post-doctoral fellowship in clinical neuropsychology and board eligibility or board certification in clinical neuropsychology through the American Board of Professional Psychology are preferred.
