Board Certification is very state-dependent. In Oklahoma, all you need is to be licensed as a psychologist with some training in your program focused on neuropsychology or post-education, and you can do neuropsychological testing.

Thank you for such an insightful video! I'm gearing up to start my PsyD program this Fall and am interested in potentially pursuing neuropsych. I found this information really valuable.
Thank you very much for this information! I am wondering what are the potential applications of technology in this field and potential risks of being replaced by automated/AI tests? Thank you very much!
Good question! I think technology regarding brain imaging is only going to get better in the future, but as for diagnosing neuropsychology, autism, dyslexia, or other neuropsychological factors there will always be a fundamental human evaluation needed in alliance with technology that I think the risks for replacement by AI is very small. If anything the advancement of technology should further equip neuropsychologists to be more accurate and precise with diagnosing. Feel free if you have access to psychologists or neuropsychologists in the field to ask them this same question, I think it's a really good question and you may get different perspectives than my own. Cheers!
Nice! Your school may have some psychology professors or maybe a graduate psychology program that might offer internships, jobs, or assistantships. That's something I wish I had done more often in undergrad was just to ask my professors if they knew of any opportunities, because chances are they know and are more connected to opportunities because of their position and access to network.
I think it depends on what program you apply to. They should state their specific requirements on the website. Typically they require a 4 year bachelor's degree and sometimes a 1-2 year masters.
Good question, I believe being accepted for the ABPP exam requires a student to go through one of the accepted accreditations for clinical psychology that ABPP requires. I'm not sure what all accreditations they accept but that info might be on their website. Also, it would require a Phd/psyd doctorate and not a masters to be able to sit for the exam. Hopefully that helps, it can get kind of confusing. Feel free to check out this website for more info abpp.org/application-information/learn-about-specialty-boards/

I’m about to transfer over to a 4 year college and I’m looking to do some internships soon. Any suggestions?

Hello sir may I know How many years of psychology degree program internationally accepted?

Hi Phil! My question is can we write ABPP exam if we have done our masters from India?

@@philsguidetopsyd Thanks Phil for the reply I will check on the website
How does human brain consciously control sexual desire?
Sir please let me know your valuable remarks 🙏.
Another book I'd recommend is Neuropsychological Assessment by Lezak, great read and might help you dig into those questions you have
@@philsguidetopsyd thank you sir.
