Postdoctoral Residency Program in Clinical Neuropsychology

Barrow Neurological Institute of St. Joseph's Hospital and Medical Center, Phoenix, Arizona

For those wishing to pursue a career in clinical neuropsychology, upon completion of doctoral studies  in clinical psychology and/or clinical neuropsychology, extended clinical and research experience is expected.

Barrow Neurological Institute, the neurological division at St. Joseph’s Hospital and Medical Center, has long been recognized for providing state-of-the-art care for patients with brain and  spine disease, disorders and injuries. Barrow’s Postdoctoral Residency Program in Cinical Neuropsychology provides residents the unique opportunity to be exposed to a wide variety of patients with neurological conditions.

Barrow’s training program includes advanced clinical work and studies in human neuropsychology. With more than 20 neurosurgeons on site, postdoctoral residents work with colleagues from the Division of Neurology, including neurosurgery, neurology, neuroradiology, and the movement disorders and stroke center.

Our setting is primarily dedicated to patient care, with heavy clinical demands placed on the resident with strong emphasis and support for research and education. In return for the clinical services provided by the residents, the staff neuropsychologists in the Section of Clinical Neuropsychology provide clinical supervision, teaching seminars, and research opportunities.

U.S. News & World Report has named St. Joseph’s Hospital and Medical Center one of the 10 best hospitals in the United States for Neurology and Neurosurgery.

The residency application deadline is February 1, 2009.
