Also there is such a lack of neuropsychologist and I have always wanted to do neuropsychology
Hi Phil! I‘m a PsyD in clinical psychology too and currently also work at a Neuropsychological Practice for diagnostic practicum! My mentor recommended to really focus on the CCE process and trying to stick to the rules right from the beginning so we internalize them (following the manual’s instructions verbatim, knowing which tests we need to administer etc).
Really enjoy your channel, thank you so much! 😊
That is awesome, thanks for sharing!
Where are you from. What you did for becoming a psyD please share some information. I want do psy masters
I was born in Ghana! Worked in the medical field before going into a psyd
Hi Phil. Thank you so much for the information you sharing. It has assisted me in so many ways. Your time has been appreciated, thank you 🙏🏽
You are very welcome
Thank you!! I like your content and all related to pediatric clinical neuropsychology! On July I will start my internship, so, thank you for share this information. I appreciate it!
Best of luck!
thank you for this, this has confirmed my interest
Glad I could help
Same here lol
Thank you this is so helpful :)
Thank you for the support!
Hi Phil! Can you make a video on Day in life of neuropsychology student in hospital i.e internship btw loved this video..
Great idea, thanks for sharing!
@@philsguidetopsyd Hi Phil! I am happy that you liked my idea hope you make this video soon eagerly waiting for the video…
Hey Phil, are you using q interactive? You didn’t mention scoring so I assume it’s done automatically online? Also could you provide insight on how often you use Pearson materials vs other companies if at all? My practicum uses like 90% Pearson.
Hey great question! a good number of assessments are actually scored manually like the WAIS, MASC/BASC, and other instruments but we do def use q interactive for many of the self-reports too. It's probably about 50/50 manual/automatic. and as for pearson materials, yeah I'd agree for us we use a good amount of pearson materials, the dementia instruments maybe not as much from pearson but similar for you 90% Pearson most likely.
Thank you for the video Phil! Do you use neuroimaging in your program? And how much of neuropsychology is neuroimaging nowadays? Thank you!
Hello! Great question, neuroimaging not as much for me, but that's mostly because I was in a private practice. I believe neuropsychologists who work in academic medical centers, hospitals, etc. might work with more of the neuroimaging although I would say it's a small part. Most neuropsychologists just focus on testing, so giving tests to diagnose adhd, dyslexia, autism, dementia, and that sort of thing. Neurologists or physicians may do more of the neuroimaging and but a neuropsychologist may work closely with a physician or neurologist to determine treatment for a patients while evaluating findings from neuroimaging with a physician. Hope that helps!
Hi Phil, I am bit confused on what path to take I am mostly interested in studying brain functioning, brain abnormalities and what causes them, how can we treat them. Was thinking clinical psychologist, psychiatrist? What’s your opinion
Good question. If you want to do therapy/assessment of neurological disorders clinical psychology is a good choice. Psychiatrists mainly deal with medication. One option you could look into is being a neuroscientist or neurology which both also deal with the study of the brain and brain abnormalities while also discovering how to treat them. Hope that’s helpful info, best of luck
If you don't mind me asking, what's something you have found challenging so far with neuropsychology?
Maybe just report writing? It takes some practice articulating neuropsych terms in a report but also explaining it in simple terms to a client/patient
@@philsguidetopsyd Thank you! That's good to know
Were you able to work while going through your program? I am applying to programs right now and trying to figure out if I will be able to make some type of income while in school. Appreciate your help!
Yes, I was able to work. But my work was very flexible and depending on how busy my week was with school, I was able to cut back as needed.
Hello Phil.. I want to ask tat in Neuropsychology field does it include brain radiology..like neuroimaging and analysing them and based on that giving therapy and conducting tests...is it the job of neuropsychologist is like that?
HI, great question. Not necessarily, the field of neuroimaging is more common for neurologists. Neuropsychologists give tests, assessments, and recommend either therapy or other forms of treatment. Hope that helps!
What if your PsyD or Ph.D doesn’t have neuropsychology do you need to get a certification or take a couple extra classes?
Good question, some people just graduate with whatever degree they have in clinical psych phd/psyd and then once they are working obtain neuropsychology experience through work, training, supervision, and clinical cases. Once they have enough experience they can start to look at board certification in their respective state. So in other words even if you don't go directly into a neuropsychology program you can still be a neuropsychologist after you've graduated. There are post docs and clinical hospitals available that offer neuropsych experiences once you a licensed psychologist. It just takes a little bit more work/time to get that neuropsychology specialty but it's doable.
Hello! I'm a freshman in college, but I'm interested in becoming a neuroscience and psych major to pursue Neuropsychology. However, could I still get into medical school (granted, if I have a high GPA and am a good student) if I earn a BA in psychology and a BA in neuroscience? Or should I purse a BS in both of the majors? Thanks!
Great questions! It really just depends on your goals! It might be helpful to have conversation with a medical doctor about what to major in. Typically clinical psychology programs in the U.S. take all sorts of majors so it depends on the program/student. Best of luck!
And can you give some opinion on what I can do after MSc Neuropsychology like without doing the psyD..is it possible that I can work in hospital after doing MSC
Great question, depending on where you live has the biggest restrictions. In the U.S. a masters is not enough to work independently so students have to work under the license of a mental health professional.
Hey Phil , I am confused about my field , actually my Interest is basically to know How Minds Works in both ways
• Biologically
• Psychologically
So, which Field is better for me
Neuroscience or neuropshycology
==== i think if I choose Neuroscience It's Full of Biology { Is I am Right }
# love From India ❤️💜
Hello! Thanks for the support. Yes, neuroscience courses are full of chemistry, biology, psychology and physiology. Both fields deal with explaining how the mind works. What often helps is working backwards and knowing what you want to do for a career and maybe shadowing a neuroscientist or neuropsychologist can help you determine what to focus on. Hope that helps!
I"m working as an lmft in Califorinia and i'm going to be applying for my psyD in neuropsych. Do you like it so far?
It’s great, I’m doing a combo of neuropsych and health psych, but I enjoy it a lot!
@@philsguidetopsyd I"m glad to hear it. I started the application process for 2024.
Hii... I'm planning to do masters in psychology but i have no idea which one is better finally i think neuropsychology is best but the problem is i don't know much about biology so what is your suggestion?
Please reply me back
I'm planning to do masters in abroad that's why I'm thinking too much what if i fail in subject
Hi great questions! It might help to shadow a neuropsychologist or psychologist in your area and ask them specific questions for navigating that! Best of luck!
Hi Phil. Any university in canada where can study neuropsychology?
Hi, good question! Not exactly sure about Canada, but maybe there are neuropsychologists in your area that you can reach out to and talk to. Best of luck!
One more question here i wanna ask :
Q. If I have a great understanding of neuropshycology then is it easy to read books Of Neuroscience.... Authors
Such books like Behave , descartes....
Neuropsychology includes neuroscience topics like anatomy and function of the brain, so yes it would be easier to read books that discuss neuroscience.
Thanks A lot ☺️
From which University u did ur MSc in neuropsychology ?
I didn't get a Msc in neuropsychology but I'm in a clinical psychology doctoral program that has a neuropsychology track.
plz tell difference between neuropsychologist and neurophysiologist
Neuropsychologists are mainly focused on brain/neurological disorders (adhd, autism, dementia). Neurophysiologists are experts on nervous system conditions, such as multiple sclerosis (MS), Parkinson's disease and motor neuron disease so how the nervous system impacts movement. Hope that helps.
@@philsguidetopsyd thankyou very much 😊
Where did you get your Bachelor‘s degree ? @phil
Indiana University
@@philsguidetopsyd thank uuuu, I live in Austria, would you recommend getting the bachelor’s degree in English?
Ps.: I adore your channel :))thank u for being there!
Just depends! Hopefully you can contact programs and get more info
How can I become a neuropsychologist or neuropsychiatrist. I already have a degree in mental health
Depending on where you live there might be neuropsychology/clinical psychology programs PhD or psyd. Also neuropsychiatry is a specialty residency after med school. Hope that helps!
@@philsguidetopsyd please that's means, I must do my masters before I can become a neuropsychologist
@@tommiejosouthard6348 In the U.S. no masters required but in other countries it will be required, so it just depends on location.
@@philsguidetopsyd Thank you
@@philsguidetopsydwhat is required to enter that specialty?
Which university are you in ?!
I'm in the midwest, you can check out my linked profile for more info!
